The baby Swallows at Fort Hill are just adorable as they line up on the split-rail fence waiting for mom or dad to come and feed them. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
These little guys were so cute as you can see their fluffy feathers and their beaks open.
This last little guy was trying out his wings before he took off with the rest of the family. Just precious, don’t you think?
I rode by this beautiful Red-tailed Hawk who was perched on the dead tree by Boat Meadow Creek at the beginning of my bike ride yesterday morning. And then, there he was, still on the same branch at the end of my ride. I figured he must be waiting for me to take his photograph!
He certainly was very patient as all of the other birds were dive-bombing him while squawking away!
We stopped at Boat Meadow Beach and there, on the beach, was this unusual bird… or was it? It looked like a Willet digging into the sand looking for food. We both took a double take and realized it wasn’t a bird but a rock that looked just like a bird.
Have you seen it there? Pretty cool, don’t you think?
It’s been so much fun watching all of the little chicks fledge and then get fed by their parents in our yard. This dad Cardinal was very attentive to his little who was perched in our evergreen tree. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We couldn’t figure out if the little one was a male or female. Does anyone know?
