[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken from our back door as I arrived home from work this evening. Mother and baby blackbird. She is feeding him berries of some kind. Blackbird chicks fledge when they are about 10-12 days old, but stay around for as much as three weeks begging for food. This one has been on the ground for about 5 days, and today was able to meet his mum on the fence!

Hand held in poor light, sharpened and resized for TL.

Hi Leslie,
The chick is a bit out of focus but this is a really sweet, nice moment... TFS, Marta
