#Vultures! In the wetlands!
#BirdCallOutI was at the back of my little bog after releasing a few bats the other day just after sunset, when I noticed two of my local black vultures having a bit of a cuddle atop a tree snag at the edge of the water. Volume up for some swamp sounds.
🖤 I love that my backyard corner of the world is an overlap of black vultures and turkey vultures.

We saw a red kite today. Fabulous bird, just cruising in North Fife. Flew right over our garden & field. Probably a juvenile (last year’s fledgling) looking for a territory of its own.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they chose somewhere local!#BirdCallOut #Raptor #Scotland

As long as I’ve been observing Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at the feeder, I’ve seen 2 behaviors:
1. Hovering in space, never touching the perch
2. Sitting, looking around for other hummers, plopped there with attitude
I can now add:
3. Perched, leaning low, flapping wings slowly, so much slower that I could make out the wing shapes
All I can think of is that with it being SO hot (95°) it was regulating its temp with this funky performance. Or it’s a trendsetter.

Baby tree sparrow sitting right on top of the peanut feeder crying for a parent to come and feed it. Sort of got the idea… but definitely still learning.

A robin was collecting some nesting material in my flowerbed this afternoon. Here she is with a beak full of “mud.”

Yesterday, I’ve found a mourning dove nest in the honeylocust tree across the street. 😃🥰🕊️🐥🐥
Can you spot the two chicks?

This week’s award for BEST IMITATION OF VIOLET BEAUREGARDE goes to the…
Tufted Titmouse family!!
Congratulations my fine feathered filchers. For years I’ve blamed the chipmunks for stealing blueberries, but now have caught YOUR WHOLE FAMILY blue-handed throwing your tiny bodies into the bush and making off with the filling for the cobbler I’ll never get!
