While walking around our property tonight, I noticed this little bird struggling among some trees/brush. The kids took on the challenge of trying to catch it to see why it was struggling. I was very surprised when they succeeded. They put it in a big cardboard box and gave it some bird seed, which it refused to eat. It just wanted out of the box. They only kept him captive for a few minutes. (Mean mom wouldn't let them keep it.) :) He managed to fly into some nearby pine trees where he stayed for quite a while. I haven't researched what kind of bird it is yet, so if you happen to know, you could save me some time by leaving a comment. :) I thought it might be a juvenile robin?

It looks like a juvenile robin, but I can't be sure. Great picture of it!
I'm going with fledging robin. Poor little guy look so frightened.
The hubs (bird nerd) said it's an American Robin.
Aww... how sweet is her! Love the detail in this shot!! =)
Poor little bird, I hope it's okay. I found a dead house wren by our window yesterday. It must have knocked itself right out. I still feel awful about it. :(
