Helping hand

Was trying to capture the little bird flying around and followed it behind some bushes and discovered that it was feeding a baby bird that must have fallen from the nest. There were three birds working to feed this giant baby. DSL Canon Mk II, 100-40000mm, Focal Len 330 ISO 640 1/800 @ f/5.6

    Thanks, I think that the mama is a Gnatcatcher and the baby is a cowbird. Cowbirds are notorious for leaving their eggs in other bird’s nest and flying away to have the foster bird raise the fledging
