Folks

Today two young Northern Flicker showed up at the house.  I think this is a first for me.  A few photos were taken.

Other hatch young around this week were Mourning Dove, Downy, Hairy, and Red-bellied Woodpecker, Blue Jay, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Carolina Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, American Robin, Chipping Sparrow, Common Grackle, Brown-headed Cowbird, Northern Cardinal, and House Finch.   A pair of Pileated visited today but no confirmed young yet.

The male Cooper's Hawk was in the backyard on Thursday.  The bird Gwen saw the other day was a female, so I bet you a dollar to a donut they are nesting around the block.

The best way to confirm breeding birds may be to stand still.

Good atlasing.

George
