Observation details

Merlin sound ID. Saw very young bird flying awkwardly - maybe first flight? It went slowly down between two parked cars in a driveway. Then adult flew by to sit in tree above, calling. Unusual call which I had never heard. Took photos of baby bird but bad quality and no guarantee it is a baby Northern Parula, although seems like it was based on adult’s behavior. Heard same call later on my walk through this area. Later returned with camera.
