HamRHead 1,150 Posted August 12, 2018 Today--a Swallow-tailed Kite. With a 4ft wingspan these are sizeable birds. They are amazingly agile and graceful. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GracesWarbler 105 Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Went out to my favorite birding spot last weekend. Here's a hummingbird. Is it a Broad-tailed (this is in Flagstaff, Arizona)? Here's a female Yellow-headed Blackbird. I've seen a bunch of males (to be fair, they are quite distinctive), but this is my first time noticing one of the females. I'd never seen one of these before. It's a Sora, and it ran off into the reeds practically as soon as I took this picture. Edited August 12, 2018 by GracesWarbler Added more info. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ned 105 Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) 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 !"
