Lots of Acorn Woodpecker photos.

I think they now have a fledged baby or two.

This male has blue eyes  - mature adults have red/pink eyes.

Blue eyed male with red-eyed female!

I like the size contrast here. It gives you an idea of just how BIG the Band-tailed Pigeons are.

See the bit of red atop the head?

Probably a newly fledged female.

And lastly, a female Flicker.

Oh the noise and commotion!

No mistaking the yelling of a young baby crow.

Yes, it is capable to eating on its own.

No, it doesn't want to do so.

And yes, the parent did feed it.

I think this year, the crows managed to raise three young.

Open wide!

Wednesday's Walk

By mid-July most plants have set berries like this one.

Mid-July through August is messy and weedy.

The Red Elderberry continues to bloom.

Douglas fir trees have a good crop of cones this year.

The babies are peering out. 

The babies in second Violet-green Swallow nesting box are now big enough to look outside.

Not sure how many there are, as I only see one at a time.

As of the evening of the 6th, they've still not fledged.
