Normally the best course of action is to do nothing; the parents will find it and get it back to the nest.  Possibly a DE Junco?

  Dave has taken the bird to Hope, at work at the veterinary clinic here in Dartmouth.

  I rescued a a nestling bird on the ground beside my house here in downtown Dartmouth. With all the cats around, there wasn't a chance the mother couldhave done anything.

  The only nest around would be starlings on the adjacent house roof; but the the bird has white on the tertials and secondaries of its wings and white on the ends of its tailfeathers, a buff breast, a buff band around the back of its head. It's about house sparrow size.

  What is it?

  I don't want to nurse it. What should I do?

  Dave Schlosberg
