I had to take the dogs out this afternoon so I figured we'd hit up Kelley Point Park and Force Lake to search for some young birds... We had some success despite the rumbling thunder, brilliant lightning, and the occasional downpour.
I found a tree that sounded like it was full of fluffy chickadee children but they were very difficult to actually locate. Here's the one photo I got:
I found another tree hopping with Bewick's Wren kids and had the same trouble. Still adorable though...
At Force Lake there were many Red-winged Blackbirds stuck in the awkward phase between adorable baby bird and adult...
Ok, so that face is kind of awesome. One last youngin for you, what I am pretty sure is a starling...
Alright, hopefully this weekend I will be able to get out and find some more. For now, the storm has passed and it's time for happy hour.... Good times!!

I could swear I hear Chickadee babies last night when I was walking Maggie. And there are plenty of starling babies around :(
ReplyDeleteJen, great captures of the youngins. The wrens are my favorite but the chickadee is adorable. Happy Birding and have a great weekend!
