HMM, thanks for the nice start with the Cardinal. It's a treat for me,b/c I've never seen any here. I did hear report of some in the area though.
Nanny, glad you got those nice shots of the Towhees. Haven't seen the Downy, in quite some time.
Duc, it's so good to see the Tree Swallow is not afraid of you, and allows you to take such nice shots of him. You also did good ont the Crow and Titmice.
Little thing, It's very obvious, the Oystercatcher, wear their name well.;) The Cormorants are really nice also.
Hack, I love the juvie Cardinals.

I was expecting to see some Robins babies, fledged soon, but I found the nest on the ground this morning, and the babies were scattered around the yard mutilated. It was a very sad outcome. I kind of expected, they were not going to make it. The nest was to low and, very exposed. I'm watching another one in the other Spruce tree. That one will have a better chance of survival. Hope they make it.
On a brighter note, I found something unusual this morning. A Cliff Swallow's nest, under the roof of my back yard neighbor. They all fledged today, They would practice flying, going back and forth to the nest. It was quite amazing to see. These are pictures, I got of some of them.
