This photo is of a very young Kestrel! This pretty bird had fledged only days before in a yard of a friend. Note his cute little feather tabs on his head. Just want to give this bird a big kiss! (More photos of him and his siblings below).
Before the other Kestrel photos, I wanted to share this adorable male Yellow Warbler. His mate and he were bathing in the stream edge. Nice view of a bird that is usual WAY up in a tree.
I think this is a Say's Phoebe. These little flycatchers are hard ID jobs. I know a Say's by call and this one isn't talking here. :)
The Cedar Waxwings are back! Here's a handsome one. We've not yet seen the young, but I'm sure they'll be here quickly.
The rest of this blog entry is devoted to the family of Kestrels. There were four babies in the box and they fledged within a couple of days. Glad we were able to watch them for a while!
