Baby Sitting

 It was a nice weekend at home in the backyard.  We felt like we were baby sitting so many bird kids.  I didn't take nearly as many photos as I could have, or should have, for this blog but here is a bit of what was going on...

Our resident male northern cardinal who we call "papa" was around a lot with his two kids.  Here he is feeding one of them.

A male oriole brought his three young around quite often, both Saturday and Sunday.

This young downy woodpecker was mostly on his own.  He sampled the nyjer seed and realized it wasn't for him after a few nibbles.

We had a ridiculous number of squawky blue jay young here with their parents.  But I never got a photo that I really liked of them.  Hairy woodpecker with young was here as well.  A few starling families as well.  Starlings aren't high on a lot of peoples' lists but hey, it's not their fault for being "non-native" and a threat to native cavity nesters.  We love the loud antics of the young and any starling in the bird bath is fun to watch because they REALLY get into it.  I always think of this little guy every spring when the young starlings are around.  He was a sweet character, just joining me in the shed, hiding out from the heavy rain.

What's it like where you are?  Are you "baby sitting" any young birds?

  1. Ours have mostly flown. The 2nd brood should hatch this week.
    Our baby crows are in the forest. I went looking for them, and the bugs were merciless! AFter 6 bites (deerflies) in two places, I beat it indoors.

  2. Lots of young robins in the front yard. Pheobe is on her second lot. She may get a third this year!

  3. My young Tree Swallows will fledge any day now! With my luck, they'll do it while I'm gone all day today. Had a young Robin in the yard. Young Crows & Starlings are all over the place. Had 3 baby chipmunks a couple of weeks ago .... siblings, I suspect. I can hear young Downies, Hairies & Flickers in the small woods behind the back fence but they haven't come into the yard since my feeders are down due to bears in the neighbourhood. And like Jenn says: the bugs are merciless!!

  4. We have tiny tiny birds that come out for the sprinkler beating down at the edge of the huge blackberry bush bramble.
    Birds seemed to have left for a while, they're coming back now after Vancouver's heatwave. Plus the butterfly lilac trees are blooming.
