I saw a different fledgling in the mix, begging an adult American Robin to feed it; but it was ignored. I believe it is a European Starling fledgling, please correct me if I am wrong.

I lost track of this little one, hopefully its parent arrived and scooted it off where it should have been. Meanwhile, the juvenile robins continue to keep their parents on-the-go!
