Birds are everywhere but there are even more baby birds over at Birding is Fun which is where I am posting today!
It is a great time with the fledglings busy feeding. We have blue tits and great tits scruffy but gorgeous on the feeder adjacent to the window,I love to watch them.
ReplyDeleteA lovely post Kathie I really like the shot of the Flickers with the Quail it looks like a bird paradise there.

This is a great time to see all the cute baby birds. Loved your photos, Kathie! Have a great weekend and happy birding!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great skill. I appreciate the way you capture these marvelous creatures. They are so young, so beautiful, so present. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures of all these youngsters! It really is a fun time of year to view birds. Our property right now is teeming with young Black-capped Chickadees, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Eastern Bluebirds and House Finches. Lots of hungry, vocal, begging babies! I loved your other post at The Birding is Fun! Blog, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I love that baby gambrel quail! And they are all wonderful! Just enjoyed seeing all these babies very much!
