Cool Summer Hang Out
This little one cries incessantly for its parents to feed her. Eventually the mother turns her back to the fledgling and the little one calms down. Little is a bit of a misnomer in that this fledgling is about the size of the mother, and bigger than the father.- CurtMorgan

Mastering Wind
This fledgling gave a great show today. This may be the only one of four to have survived (unless the others are in serious hiding).- CurtMorgan

Ya Big Baby!
I was relieved to see this young falcon today--only one out of four left (mortality rate is that only one out of three lives). It is the 10th day of flight so far--about 52 days old. This is the biggest and darkest of the fledglings--probably a female.- CurtMorgan

Keeping an Eye on Dem Gulls
No. 5 (the runt) of 5 Kestrel fledglings. This forklift appears to provide the young one enough cover from the Herring Gulls patrolling above. This one left the nest far too early, heavilly downed at first but has managed to survive the traffic in & out of the steel fabrication shop (&...- AndyMc

Keeping Dry
No.s 2 3 & 4 of 5 Kestrels that recently fledged. Amazingly, their parents nested amongst the noise & hustle-bustle of steel fabrication in extreme proximity to humans.- AndyMc

Canyon Wren feeding time
As I mentioned, I spent parts of two days following this new family about an abandoned road bed full of boulders. I saw how they foraged, and cared for the chicks, which are fledged at this point. Note how the chick looks the larger, but it's just an illusion.- Forcreeks

Canyon Wren chicks
They are fledged but mostly waited for the parents to bring the food. Later, a shot of parent feeding a chick in this same spot. The boulders are sitting on an abandoned road bed in the Columbia Gorge near Hood River, OR. A section of road was replaced in a straighter route for the wind...- Forcreeks

Sun's out, oooh - aaaaah
Hilarious behaviour more suited to video: One of those cool days last August, the clouds opening up for 30 seconds every 5 minutes......... This little chap emerged from a bush for the brief warmth, while it lasted, then returned immediatley back into the bush. This went on for at least 1/2...- AndyMc

Feeding time! White-fronted tern and fledgling (Sterna striata)
Feeding time! White-fronted tern and fledgling (Sterna striata). The most common tern in New Zealand (endemic), found on the coast throughout the country. Population falling though, which is of concern.- winmark
