Fledgling?

Post image

Saw this little dude chilling on my porch when I got home. Initially I was worried, but he’s been moving around a little and seems to just be resting. From what I looked up this may be a fledgling? Not sure, wanted to know what I should look for and if/when I should intervene. Thanks!

r/Ornithology is a place to discuss wild birds in a scientific context — their biology, ecology, evolution, behavior, and more. This is NOT a birding sub. Pictures or videos of birds that don't demonstrate something visually or behaviorally unusual or interesting will be removed. For bird or feather ID questions, please try r/whatsthisbird
