We have had three Baltimore Oriole fledglings hanging out in the yard (Manhattan KS) with two adults. They are still begging food from the folks, but mostly are just watching and learning how to adult. This afternoon they were all visiting the bird bath to get a drink, or perhaps a bath. and I got some photos of them. I do think that I got shots of all three. Check out those fleshy "baby lips" and the brand-new fresh-edged feathers!
