Today’s featured image (above) is not a compelling photo by any means but it is the best shot I have been able to get of any of the three chicks in the nest I have been monitoring. Speaking of monitored nests – I also got another fuzzy shot of the Red-tailed Hawk nestling. It is really getting big but was not particularly active. I keep hoping an adult will show up with some chow to provide some action but so far nothing. Otherwise things were pretty quiet this morning. Pictured here is a Blue Grosbeak I caught singing in the Morning.
