Fledgling

觀察細節

Encountered one parent who was being very vocal and hopping from tree to tree, circling me. First thought it was a young wood thrush, but noted orange crest. Observed for a few minutes and then gingerly made my way through the forested area ensuring did not step on ground nest. Then encountered a second parent foraging with a grub in its bill (I was still able to see and hear the first parent). It flew to the forest floor and moved about as if foraging. Did this several times. At one point, noted a movement near the second parent when it was on the ground and then saw a fledgling. It appears that the second parent was leading the fledgling away from me while also trying to distract me. It seemed to use the grub as enticement for the fledgling to follow. Did not observe more than one fledgling.
