One of two kits - the lighter colored - denning under a shed in the yard. The red fencing was put up to keep our curious retrievers at a polite distance.

Second and darker of two kits.

Observation #8100

Observed several mixed flocks: Audubon's and Myrtle ssp.

A happy bird - found a hard-boiled egg.

First Barred I've seen this winter and because of the choice of perches, I'm believing it's the same owl that was a frequent visitor last year.

Red 2/8

Moving between grassy edge and rock breakwater to forage and keep out of the wind. A rare treat up here!

3rd photo: single Bonaparte's Gull close up as an example of the large flock observed.

Male & female wheel: Noted pale legs, overall red w/no thorax stripes, female tannish based on photo; in addition appeared late in season for Cardinal Meadowhawks.

Sun is out and Monarchs are everywhere.

Awesome visitor to the suet!

1st time out of the box.
