Avian Update

I’ve been taking a bit of a break from this blog lately. Patch-wise, things have been slow here lately. We’re now in the midst of Summer and there’s no major national event to feed the flow of new issues.
The local wildlife has been busy. Last Wednesday the bird’s nest on my deck became more active when the eggs started to hatch. I now have three very hungry hatchlings about four feet from my back door… and a cat that is very interested in getting to know them better. I can’t really use my deck now until these hatchlings leave the nest.
Here’s another cool shot I caught over the weekend. I managed to capture on camera one of the adult birds in the nest with its young.
I have to all but stick my camera into the nest to get these photos. I’m waiting for the day one of the adults decides it really doesn’t like me that close to its young and tries to do something about it!
