More Babies

Though not a really new find, the baby Northern Cardinals are starting to head out on their own and visiting the feeders alone. I have been trying to get shots of this young male but he has been too quick. The all-observing eye of the BirdCam got him, though!

As predicted a few days ago, the Titmice have raised a brood nearby and the proof is in the pictures with a new arrival of a young bird stopping by to grab a sunflower seed. Again, note the yellow gape at the back of the bill on the young bird as pointed out with the Jays on the last post.

Here is an interesting display of a White-winged Dove flexing for the camera. Who was challenging him?

We may be not too far off from seeing the young Red-winged Blackbirds as the mothers are now stopping by. The males have been feeding for a while as the females stayed with the babies. Now they must be either out of the nest or close to it as the Moms are helping to feed them. Usually, the chicks join them soon afterwards.

Good to see that the birds are successful again this year.
