    Fledgling birds and their mamas here. Watching a mom robin carefully monitor her fledgling. Also this morning we saw three sibling bluejays running and flying around together figuring out how to get to the feeders.

      We went for a hike on the West Circle trail in the Hyde Memorial State Park a couple of miles north of our house in Santa Fe. Back at the ranger station, a group of Flycatchers were doing their thing. At first they were a bit stand-offish, but as they got used to me they came closer. That, plus a 300mm telephoto ... ๐Ÿ˜Š

              British Goldfinch. They're always twittering overhead, today one landed on our aerial long enough for a snap

                  What does your aerial do? Doesnโ€™t look like the ones for TV to me. FM?

                    It gets terrestrial/freeview TV.
                    I ended our Sky satellite sub so we're using the old aerials plus free digital channels through the sky broadband.

                        I love the sound of the Wood Thrush in the grove behind our house ...

                          That is so very like our Song Thrush which perches top of a tree to sing

                            This little guy has made a little hollow under my red twig dogwood. He likes snipping off the stems of plants and leaving them without eating them. So, you know, basically an a$$hole. Good thing he's cute.
