Tough Parenting

Hey all,

Here is a nice little sequence of photos I captured of a Chipping Sparrow fledgling and a parent. It was on the ground chipping away, begging for food

The female parent returned with a small moth, which was guzzled quickly, and of course the fledgling still wanted more.

When it realized it wasnt going to get anything else with this trip

It did a nice wrestling move on its mother. Parenting is difficult for birds apparently

a decent shot of the gaping maw
