nestling

But for a hummingbird with a broken wing or a nestling with a missing mom, the situation is life-threatening.

Many years ago, her cat had escaped and came back with a hummingbird nestling.

You’ll see egrets and herons in the tidal wetlands of the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and perhaps even snowy plovers nestling in the dunes or pecking for insects in the wet sand.

That plot point was a bit of “amazing synchronicity,” Starr said, because he had been thinking about talking to Kripke about nestling some of his own existential feelings about aging into Homelander.

At more than 250 of these, nestlings were attacked and killed, and eggs were destroyed.
