Some of the neighbourhood kids: House Sparrow nestlings (actually not sparrows but a type of finch but what's in a name?) in my birdhouse yesterday afternoon... They certainly keep their parents busy.

Great Pictures dpc, love the one of the babies waiting on mom to bring them food. The Robin that is nesting on the porch works all day to feed her 4 hungry babies.

Raven: It looks as though this fellow has had a rough day.

A bit scruffy indeed... Is it a raven btw.? It looks a bit different and smaller than I remember...

Wiebe.

I missed few pages here and there are again a lot of great shots!
Wiebe - it's raven, just fledgling!

Jeremy - beautiful birds and great shots!

Song Thrush high in a tree in the evening sun (7DmkII, 100-400mkII, 1.4mkIII)

It was singing very loud but still took me some time to locate it... camouflage doing its work
Song may be louder than our resident blackbird, but the blackbird is a more creative singer

Wiebe.

Wiebe, I'm missing these guys (and many others from my original country)! Thanks!

Horned grebe at a local pond yesterday morning. The ripples and reflection in the water are a bit distracting, but I don't mind it too much.

In Europe it's known as "Slavonian Grebe", and off course the scientific name is the same: Podiceps auritus.

 

[ISv]

And I have just few from today :-[... Nothing really exciting.

Nice pictures, ISv! I like the last one in particular.

Thanks for the nice comments!

Nice sets of pictures dpc - you're on your way to dethrone click and neuro at the pace you're going

@ISv; you're welcome (for the Thrush ) - and thanks for clarifying the "raven" issue; always good to have a resident expert around ;D. Nice pictures as well!

Wiebe.

The baby house sparrows left the birdhouse this morning for their first solo flight. This one landed on our birdbath but didn't seem to know what to do after that.
