1ST YEAR GRAY CATBIRD, PRESQU'ILE PROVINCIAL PARK, BRIGHTON, ONTARIO, 7/2/2023

   We can tell this is a 1st year Gray Catbird by its cloudy more grayish eyes, rather than the clear black eyes of an adult catbird.  Gray Catbirds become fully mature when they are one year old.

MOLTING YELLOW WARBLER FLEDGELINGS, PRESQU'ILE PROVINCIAL PARK, BRIGHTON, ONTARIO, 7/2/2023

   The first two photos show a Yellow Warbler fledgeling which still has much of the down of a chick.  The last two photos show a more advanced Yellow Warbler fledgeling, with a lot less down.   Both fledglings could fly, but how far we couldn't tell.
