Least Flycatcher
Nest located on elbow of gutter. Based on description of nest and eggs I believe this to be a Least Flycatcher.

Day that they fledged, waiting for a meal.

This was the morning of the day they fledged. I was away
at the time and missed it. When I got home they were gone.
2 Bluebird Chicks
2 healthy, hungry, beautiful baby bluebirds.
What kind of eggs are these? 3 blue and 2 speckled.
I am looking for help in identifying the eggs in this nest box.
Five Robin Newborns
Orange Finch Eggs
Wren chick feathering up
After worry that predators have taken eggs and young from this nest, it is great to see the remaining chick in great condition and growing feathers. The parent chattered nearby the whole time we visited.

Petunia’s Nest
We have 2 mourning doves nesting right now one in front and one in the back yard. I have perfect view of the hanging pot of petunias thus we named this one Petunia’s nest 🙂
Baby Bluebirds
One surviving wren
There is now only one chick in the birdhouse. No evidence why the chick and egg from three days ago are gone.
Front Cottage birdhouse
First picture was from March 2015 Ma Ma Carolina Wren waiting for her eggs to hatch, and tne second picture are her 4 babies that took flight in April 2015. This is my second nestwatch, but the 8th brood I have observed.
Baby Wrens!
The Wrens should fledge soon!
Almost a half dozen
Discovered this nest on top of one from last year. Despite the noise from our busy street, robins and mourning doves seem to find our porch columns perfect nesting sites. This couple is obviously quite prolific. Able to observe them occasionally by peaking through the tiniest bit of open curtain. Very attentive. We use the other door during this season so we don’t disturb them. Hopefully, all the eggs will hatch and all the chicks will fledge.

Second wren has hatched
As a parent sang beautifully, we approached our backyard birdhouse for the third visit. A second little one has hatched, we discovered as the parent’s song switched to angry chatter. We left the pin oak tree with our photos and our smiles, and the wren’s song returned.
Bird Bath born in bird bath
I bought an old bird to the side of my house to clean it up but before I could get to it, this bird had built a nest and laid 3 eggs in it and about 2 weeks later she laid one more.Well only 2 of the eggs have hatched, will the other 2 hatch or not?
Tree Swallow Nesting on a Gun Range :)
This little guy is nesting in a tube on a Gun range (Trap range actually) in Bridgeport, NY,
right on the edge of the NYS management area known as Cicero Swamp.
We didn’t disturb him too much, but it looks like
eggs may be inside, because two of them are guarding the tube.
We think he’s a Tree Swallow? but we’re not pros.
This little bird must be an NRA Member, and was eating insects so he’s ok with us. 🙂
The noise must not bother the birds? Its an active range.
I always see lots of cool, out of the ordinary birds at this range, this is the first one we photographed.

Bewick’s in a Boot
I kept seeing a wren fly off my porch, but I couldn’t see the nest. My dog was sniffing the boot and my husband pulled it off the rack to look inside. Sure enough, there was the nest. I moved a big bowl and some dog leashes to take the picture and then replaced them. I guess I won’t bother taking the boots in to be resoled. They’ve already been re-purposed.
Mourning doves on my front porch
Mourning doves made a nest in a flower basket hung on the railing of my front porch.

House Sparrow’s poor decision.
It is early June and a House Sparrow decided to build a nest in the base of a seed cylinder, with a dove-deterring cage. It does of course present a dilemma for the bird watching property owner.

The largest chick is sitting on the rim of the nest and using his wings. While his wings seem to work well, he still has a short, stubby tail. He/she should be ready to fledge soon.

Kilideer
KKilideer protecting her 4 light blue speckled eggs.
Located in a business parking lot in the city~ nest was near the sidewalk under the landscaping hedges. The nest is simply a “depression” in the ground, lined only with the surrounding mulch material. The eggs camouflaged well with the near by stones. Mom tolerated my pictures well but was quick to let me know if I came too close!
Beak & Butt
Beak & Butt… the little hummingbirds are getting bigger. Estimate they are 16-17 days old.
