Temperate coastal rain forest, in tall conifers at a highway rest stop.
This was a juvenile that had apparently fallen from the nest; it couldn't fly yet.

very cute!
It's so cute! :)
It seemed to be fine with the situation, and the parents were supervising. I worried a little about raccoons getting it, but hopefully that would just be a stimulus to fly!
That is really good to know thanks.
That bird is in the fledgling stage where it stays on the ground learning to fly. Many pepole think birds in this stage should be in its nest and has fallen but it does infact need to be on the ground exercising its wings.
Could you help it?
