Setting up for banding at Barr Lake this morning. Greeted at the parking lot by a just fledged family of Western Wood-Pewee. Two young, still not fully feathered but fledged balls of wild looking feathers were yelling constantly for their parents' attention. I couldn't tell if they were yelling for food or just the chaos and excitement of first flights.
