I’m always stunned with how thoroughly these lil guys soak and splash in the top of my fountain. I guess dealing with nectar all day is probably a sticky business that warrants having a wash.
I caught one of the three baby scrub jays from my backyard staring curiously at a female northern flicker (red-shafted.) It hopped closer and closer until it was just six or eight inches from the flicker, at which point she flew off and scared the fledgeling away....
Little guy ditched his woman to follow me around for about 10 minutes.
I’ve been so bummed out because I haven’t been seeing the usual number of Osprey as I did last year....

I know this isn’t strictly about birding but who doesn’t like Eastern Bluebirds?...
This handsome fella was pointed out to me by another birder. I was hoping to see a bird of prey this year and I did which is super cool.
Also bonus dragonfly in the picture!
Doing its best Moe Howard impersonation.
This little guy was rescued, rehabilitated, and released in Nov 2016....
Merlins kinda breed in my area, but you’re more likely to find them during migration. I believe we found three on this day....
