It is officially fledgling season! A fledgling is a young bird that is becoming capable of flight, but still has not mastered it. If you see a gull walking around but not flying, it is probably just fine. Once they take their first leap of faith off of their rooftop nest, fledglings often are not able to make it back up.

And since our summer temperatures have soared, it has created an even better reason for fledglings to leap off of sizzling rooftops for a cooler environment. Don't worry - they are right where they are supposed to be until they can take complete flight! So, if you chance upon one, leave it be.
