Please help me identify this baby. I apologize for the rotation, I'm not handy with image software.

I think maybe a robin. See if you have a wild bird rehab in your area.

It's better to leave it alone and let the parents take care of it.

New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (currently 293)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 193 as of 5/12.

Fisherman1313- I did not mean to take him in necessarily. A phone call to them to see what they thought certainly wouldn't hurt. :unsure:

No, a phone call would not hurt but they will probably say the same thing I did. The advice the rehabber in my area always gives in these situations, unless the bird is obviously injured, is to leave the bird alone and watch to see if the parents come to feed it, if the parents do not come back then bring it in.
