Fledgling Mockingbird

A baby Mockingbird. Trying to hunt for insects, wing-flashing. In case you’re wondering what the ‘toy’ was, she was playing with a clip for holding a bag of bread closed.

Baby Blue Jays

4 eggs were discovered in a nest in my Magnolia tree. It wasn’t too high up so I was able to get a small ladder and take pictures. First time ever to have a nest where I could see it. So excited to have babies. Two for sure, possibly 4 total.

Flycatcher Frenzy

The myiarchus flycatcher eggs have hatched and the parents are doing everything they can to keep their brood fed. At times they are so successful in the hunt they have to wait for the other parent to leave the nestbox before they can come in. This was one such incident. – Picture taken and uploaded by Paul Pruitt, Docent
