Our friendly neighborhood birds are in a frenzy regarding their nests and their young. This is very typical behavior at this time of year. By the way, I was led to the Western Kingbird fledgling by a parent when I came out the door for an errand. Last year I obtained a photo of a recently fledged Mourning Dove on the property, too.

These are the stars of the week, or at least, thus far. Great Egret was a wonderful surprise this morning, as was Brown Thrasher thinking that I did not see him/her. Started off as a very cloudy day, which helped Great Egret's shots. Enjoy, and keep the wild in wildlife.

It was a mid-afternoon trip to the lake today, since it rained the better part of the morning. However, it was just as well, since these views would never have been seen. Touche!
