I haven't had a chance to do much birding this summer. I've been busy with a big home improvement project. It just seemed this week the birds were trying to get my attention. Friday, I noticed a nest of Robins, that were almost ready to fledge. I was amazed Robins still were fledging in Oct in zone 5 (central IL).

Then I noticed a Yellow bellied sapsucker working a common location in the yard.

Then I noticed this Coopers land in the neighbors tree. I orignally thought he was interested in 2 Juvie squirrels eating under the feeder. The squirrels were oblivious to him. Then I noticed he already had something and was able to get a few shots.
