young fledgling birds

Several bird pairs have fledged their babies out of the nests in the wild woods.  This young Eastern Bluebird happily comes to the plate of mealworms. 

A brood of six Black-capped Chickadees come to the suet to eat and play tag around the feeder.

This Red-bellied Woodpecker is learning to enjoy suet too.  This juvenile does not have a red belly yet, nor the bright red cap that will develop later this autumn.
