New Kids On The Block



A youngster in the grass, trying to stay still and hide from the evil photographer lady.



A juvenile robin on the back fence, still hoping Mom or Dad will bring him some groceries.




The nest we've been watching has some new residents! The eggs hatched on an unknown date, and this is the first time I've seen a baby. He or she has quite a few feathers already, and as you can see, a parent is still lurking close by in the background.


A closer view. What a cutie! There may be another one right behind it, in front of the parent bird.


A couple of days later, looking more like a mourning dove all the time.


And just one day later, May 22, the nest looks empty. Everyone moved somewhere else.

More birds for my world, and that makes me very happy.
