    The juvies have fledged this week and this one looks horrified at being alone.

  8. Only one

    Only one

    This Red-bellied Juvie is the only one I've seen so far so either the parents are keeping them under wraps or it hasn't been such a good season for them. This one's perched on what's left of a branch that came down during our ice storm in Feb.

    Fledglings still!

    This little one was waiting about 10 ft above the suet feeder for mom to fill up and come feed it. I don't remember seeing fledglings this late in the season and it's not just the Red-bellieds. Northern Cardinals as well. Been a very strange breeding season but excellent for these guys and...
