Baby Birds around the Neighborhood

Posted

Rich and I saw a bunch of baby birds on our walk tonight.
We finally caught up with our baby mallards, who we’ve been chasing for the last week or so.  We keep seeing them as we drive out, when I don’t have my camera.  Tonight we were amused to see them crossing Pebble Ridge Street.  They were on the way to the pond, just like we were!

We heard several baby mockingbirds as we walked around.  I kept seeing adult mockingbirds pose on signs, lamps, trees, etc.  Finally a baby showed himself and I got some pictures.  He has good camouflage going with that mulch!

We saw our Loggerhead Shrike babies again.  This time the light was better and they let me get closer.  So I got a better picture!
