We got the biggest kick watching this baby bird fluttering around and begging to be fed.
And it must be a full time job to keep this big baby fed!
He fluttered so much that he slid right off of the rail one time.
How many bugs and seeds does this young one need?
It’s enough to try a mother’s patience!
And it was neat to identify as a Boat-Tailed Grackle mama and baby.
You’ll have to think of a caption for this shot!
“Okay bud, the next bite is mine!”
My friend Margaret came up with this caption!
Thanks girlfriend!
I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE
and I’d Rather B Birdin’.

This is a darling picture story! We've always loved Grackles, hope we see some here.
That is just wonderful! The baby bird looks to be as big as the mother. Great shots.
Fabulous birds, the last one is beautiful. Thanks for dropping by.
Great pics! I don't have such a talent.

fun series.
It is funny when you see a "baby" as big as its parent being fed. Great shots!
Ooooo, what a long beak she has. That last picture is great! I really enjoy your bird photos, Diane. So many various kinds in Florida.

That baby bird wants his food now! (His beak looks really sharp too!)
That's a new one on me the boat-tailed. I do know of the Common Grackle though, a more northern species?
Such great photos, Diane! The mother does look a little bit tired. :)
Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely new week! xx
Sweet!!! My caption would be "What did you bring me, Ma?" You know how kids are. lol

Always enjoy your photographs. I was thinking, "Look, son, I worked all day in a hot nest. Eat your dinner."
Aren't birds so fun to watch and this little one is certainly quite the critter!
Have a fun week ahead!
Hugs,

FUN PICTURES and especially that last one is just amazing!! great shot there! HOpe y'all had a great weekend!
Adorable post! I loved it! I bet she quit feeding him a day or two later and said..."Now, go for it!" :-)
I think he's spoiled! LOL! Mom need to shove him out of the nest...I think she needs a rest, she looks tired. He looks bigger than her!
o, my, that´s a hungry one, and it lets the parent know about it :)
Wonderful photos! I think that Momma is ready to shove her "baby" out of the nest... Time for him to find his own food!
Love the picture story!!!
