Young Ones

Summer is a busy season for rearing the young.  In my backyard, I see quite a few young birds just born this summer.


The other day several young Western Scrub-Jays were fussing around the big fir tree.   Right in the middle of the circling birds, guess what I found.

"Naughty Scrub-jays are bugging me. 

I am only a month old(?), so help me 

to get rid of these noisy birds."

A couple of House Sparrow families live around here.   They are one of the early risers.   This young one came to eat seeds and suet with her dad.

"I was born this summer, too. 

See I still have the yellowish corner

on the mouth."

Here is a young Scrub-Jay who has mastered bathing.

"It's fun to take a bath."
