The Big Day! Today is a momentous occasion in our families lives as my son Jamie marries his long time girlfriend Megan. Jane and I wish them much happiness and all the best. Congratulations and enjoy wonderful times together.
More young Americans (though Jamie is British!)……..
Three baby American Robins, about a week old, waiting and begging to be feed.
Fresh out of the nest, a fledgling robin with its short tail, has managed to hop and make short weak flights to the safety of a shrub.
Young robins have black spots on their breast. This immature (or juvenile) is now old enough to feed and fend for itself.
A fledgling House Wren that had just left the nest was hopping on the ground and is still a day or two away from being able to fly.
A juvenile (dark bill) Northern Cardinal visits the platform feeder
This was probably the first time that this young Brown-headed Cowbird had visited a bird bath. Being unsure of testing the waters, it only lay down and soaked its breast feathers.
This juvenile Gray Catbird, with a yellow gape (base of the bill), faired better than the cowbird and enjoyed the water so much it would make frequent visits.
Though it looks a lot like an adult, this juvenile Downy Woodpecker still has a brownish tone to its plumage.
You can tell a young Mourning Dove by its scalloped wing feathering.
Baring a light colored head, this juvenile Blue Jay has found its favorite feeder food, a peanut.
