Not the snazziest of birds, but finally I have captured a song bird in the classic splayed leg pose😁.

This young Red-winged Blackbird was unsure what to do next.

He made some calls to mamma but he got no assistance.

He looked around for awhile before taking the flying plunge and headed back into the underbrush behind him.
