Baby Northern Mockingbird
This bird was handled as part of ongoing research into the species and was bleed and banded before it was returned to the nest without issue. While it goes without saying, do not take nestlings from nests unless you are trained to do so. You risk injury, forced fledging, and potential abandonment.
Not sure why the video quality dropped so significantly.
