Amazing they can fly after one or two of these isn't it ?

If they make enough noise and are in the right place at the right time, a healthy meal is delivered on the fly without even a touchdown !

These fledglings patiently perch fairly close together while the parents acrobatically swoop through the sky catching up bugs along the way. The young hear their parents calling on their return and when they come in close, each young'n makes noise and flutter up a storm, trying to attract the most attention. "Pick Me ! Pick Me !"

Not much more beautiful than a fledgling Barn Swallow

Here is an oddity for these parts.... a Northern Gannet on the shores on Rye NH. A very cooperative subject was he !

I should have said a "one" winter home.

The image above was made while this breeding pair took a break from nest building one February near Maitland, FL (winter home of Jack Kerouac)

One of my favorites.... The Red-shouldered Hawk ! Like most raptors, the male (L) is smaller and and stockier than the female (R)

More Yellow ? How about a Common Yellowthroat ? Here is an example of a handsome adult male.

Yellow it is ! How about a Yellow Warbler ? Light as a Feather !

Happy to bring him to you !
