Baby Dusky Moorhen!
Probably only a couple of days old at most.
The both cute and kinda ugly Dusky Moorhen chick on a rock. It has fluffy black feathers, almost red beak, and an unfortunately bald red-skinned forehead.
A mother Dusky Moorhen approaches its chick which is flopped on a rock, with some water weed to eat.

Americans and Canadians will recognize the #bird on the left as a #blueJay
Mexicans will recognize the bird on the right as a #greenJay
What's the bird in the middle?
That's the #globalWarming Jay
(What I'm calling it)
Due to #climateChange green jays are increasingly moving north and overlapping with blue jays
This is the first observed hybrid in the wild (#Texas) between these two #species separated by 7 million years of evolution

bonus pic of the #bluejay-#greenjay hybrid
(technically not the first: the first was an offspring of birds in captivity in the 1960s. this is the first hybrid observed in the wild)
only in the last 10 years have the species overlapped in Texas. the blue jay also has been expanding, westward, and this has been going on for a longer time due to human alterations to the environment
before that, they were separated for millions of years
