It is that time of year when a lot of chicks are leaving the nest and a lot of juvenile birds are spreading their wings for the first time. Just today we say the 4 bluebird chicks raised in our backyard birdbox leave the nest. Above is what I believe is juvenile blue grosbeak (Guiraca caerulea) based upon its size and the shape of its beak. The pic with the cardinal is for scale.
