Female Flicker

Noisy Crow parent

The Baby Crow is flying further and further, but still encouraging the parents to feed him.

Wednesday's Walk

I'm behind on taking photos, so not much to share.

The Douglas fir have a good cone crop this year.

Lots of cones forming with seeds for birds and critters this fall.

I should say Every Day of the Week Crows

 

The Crow Family is still omnipresent.

Here are the two adults. 

An adult

And here's the kid.

The blue-eyed baby.

The baby bird is flying much better - faster and further.

That said, the parents are still feeding it!

I changed GAST "Oatmeal" to WDW "Whitewash", and also added the red and white star button.  This freebie can be found on Lizzie Kate's website.

Quietly soaring.

Turkey Vulture rarely vocalize.

Sharp-shinned Hawk adult.

Look at the eye color - golden.

Eye color again -much lighter.

This is a newly fledged Sharp-shinned Hawk.

I think there are at least two of them. And let me tell you, they are the noisiest things ever.  They scream and yell all most nonstop.
