Last installment of pretty birds. Here is our Spotted Towhee again.
And an adorable male baby Kestrel fresh out of his nest box.
Here is one of them still considering heading out. Can't blame him for taking his time!
If these pictures don't touch you, you may be dead.
Must be hard to see one's parents and three siblings out there. He waited a day, but finally made the leap.
More nest action. This is a House Wren feeding her nest of chicks. During this entire time, a pair of Tree Swallows sat patiently as if waiting for these guys to vacate the nest. They wanted to move in!
The two Tree Swallows were getting a start on making a nest of babies for the House Wren's habitation.
Cool photos of Tree Swallows in action. They made a cool call during this activity.
One last Tree Swallow shot.
Another of the House Wrens
A female Killdeer. How do I know? Because we saw her sitting on her nest. It was a typical Killdeer nest - far too close to a trail (12") and the time it took to "build" the nest may have been one minute. :)
House Wrens
Love these! We only see them in the dessert - Phainopepla. Just beautiful birds!
The Phainopepla again
And finally, a Western Bluebird. Bluebirds - regardless of the type - never get old!
