    I think he needs some food...nice capture, and great clarity!

    Not sure how you can tell that it's immature (behavior?) but it's beautifully rendered,

    Great idea to show the immature bird as compared to the matured birds!

    Cool photo, but no matter their age, they are all pests. LOL!
