Owl twins
We were hiking and heard some birds calling and finally found these two sitting on a branch.
Tropical Kingbird Chck at St. Armands Circle
This was one of four baby Tropical Kingbirds in a small oak tree at St. Armands Circle in Sarasota Florida. There were Gray Kingbirds nesting in the same parking lot so I was able to observe and phototgraph both and enjoy the chicks constantly looking for more food.

Prothonotary Warbler Fledgling
I had been photographing the parents coming back and forth their nest and this Prothonotary Warbler fledgling decided it was time to come out. He had only been out of the nest for a few minutes and flew to a branch directly in front of me. I managed a few shots and then both parents came to the tree and coaxed him over to some thicker vegetation and safety.
Piping plover
Less than a day old, this young piping plover chick was already busy running the beach eating small insects. It successfully fledged in the summer
Four Young Finches
These are the same four finches that were begging for food in my other picture. When I checked on them on this day, they were all huddled closely together and all looking at me as I whistled and welcomed them into the world.
Short midday nap.
While out checking my yard, I found this Blue Jay taking a nap near my boat. There were no adults around until other birds discovered it and three adults came to its rescue.

Where’s Mama
Snoozing Blue Babies
Nearly naked Western Bluebird chicks. The first two were hatched July 5, with another in progress. Note the uppermost chick in the photo, with its chin resting on an unhatched blue egg.
I SEE YOU…
Came home one afternoon and THREE owlets were in the Screech Owl box hole which is along side our gravel driveway, not far from the house. By the time I grabbed my camera, there was only one in the hole. This was taken on May 26, 2011 and have never seen them in this box since. We had contacted Cornell to see if they would be interested in streaming a nest cam in spring of 2012 which they were, but we only ever got squirrels in there despite our best efforts. The squirrels have won year after year. We do have a male Screech in another box that has been coming every year almost on the exact same day, but it is inaccessible as far as a nest cam goes.
Loggerhead Shrikes
These Loggerhead Shrike chicks were very impatient and wanted to be fed!
The Little Runt
Several Carolina Chickadees fledged the nest and all but this one flew away. This little guy reminded me of the little train that could. He tried and tried and tried to learn to fly. It wasn’t until the next morning that he was able to lift his body off the ground a few inches. By afternoon (when this photo was taken) he was able to leap up about ten inches to the top of a flagstone. He wasn’t able to leave my backyard until the third day when he took to the skies right behind his parent!

Every year the robins build a nest outside my kitchen window. It’s always bittersweet to see the babies leave.

Stripey fluffy baby
This beautiful baby owl fled to the ground after a raven pulled its tail. I think it later got back up into a tree safely. It is one of (at least) three juvenile owls that have been living on the UCSD campus, along with their parents.

Hello world!
A mother eagle looks on while one of her new babies peeks over the edge of the nest and into a new, larger world.
Content together.
These two baby ducklings were floating on a log together alone after a big storm. There weren’t any adults nearby. Fortunately, other people saw several adults with ducklings in the same area the next day, so I think they were reunited.
First to Fledge
The nest was crowded until early evening when this brave Eastern Phoebe flew 5′ to the top of our screen porch.
Handsome Little Fellow
We are lucky enough to have several species of woodpeckers in our area. This year, I spotted a young red-bellied and captured this photo. Such a fine looking bird!
Bluebird Babies Before Dawn
Every morning this Spring, our Bluebird babies were out at dawn, searching for breakfast, most often sitting on the same limb of the same oak tree. One morning I couldn’t resist making this photo, backlit from the sunrise. The Bluebirds were so cute and so serious!
Bluebird Baby Checking Out An Old House
When our Bluebird babies were old enough to do some exploring, they found an old Bluebird house and checked it out. A House Wren family had moved into the house, and Mrs. Wren wasn’t very happy about having the Bluebird babies on her house! The Bluebird babies probably didn’t realize that one or the other of their parents was born in this house!
loggerhead Shrike Chicks
These Loggerhead Shrike chicks were very hungry!
Bluebird Babies at Odds
Early every morning this Spring, our Bluebird family–Dad, Mom and three babies–would gather on top of an old arbor to look for breakfast across the lawn. The parents were usually looking for breakfast, while the babies played, tested their wings, and generally waited to be fed! One morning I saw the three babies sitting close together, and two of them were disagreeing about something!

Baby Cedar Waxwing
Baby Spruce Grouse
We were on a trail walking and stopped to listen to a bird in a tree. At that moment we didn’t know we were about 5 feet away from a Spruce Gouse hen and her chicks. The Grouse began clucking softly and then we spotted the family. A very special experience.
Someday, a real loon!
After the mother loon spread her wings, this little one copied. It was so cute because the wings are so little! I love loons.
