Cute, but loud and angry! Family members were sounding off nearby, so chick was not alone.
Forest, creek bed.

Ah! How cute! I'm glad it wasn't abandoned :). Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, it was very cute. When we first heard the chick, it was on a branch of a downed tree. When I came back to take the picture, it was on the ground. We did not see where the rest of the family was, but we could hear them, so it wasn't abandoned. I don't know if it was old enough yet for flying practice or not!
Adorable! What's the backstory here? :)
