这是一只刚刚孵化不久的幼鸟。看看它那小灰耗子似的羽毛颜色。真的很难想象它居然是鲜艳靓丽的红衣主教（Cardinal) 的雏鸟。

它本来被鸟爸鸟妈藏在一个树丛里，却不甘寂寞地跑了出来。而且一跳一跳地来到了公园内的一条小路上，引起了游人的围观和抢拍。鸟妈鸟爸赶紧飞过来护在了旁边。直到它又重新钻进树丛，吃力地爬到了树枝上。

鸟妈仍然不放心，站在附近的树枝上虎视眈眈地警卫着。在护卫幼鸟方面，鸟妈似乎比鸟爸更富进攻性。这期间一只红翼黑鸟企图接近这只幼鸟，鸟妈飞扑过去将之赶走。还有一只黑松鼠偷偷摸摸地钻进了幼鸟所在的树丛，它也未能逃过鸟妈的火眼金睛。只见她一个鹞子翻身扎入树丛，一阵叼啄，黑松鼠吓得落荒而逃。

幼鸟折腾了半天，可能是饿了，嗷嗷待哺。

鸟妈开始喂食幼鸟，鸟爸负责警戒。
