My young Stellar's Jay, more blue and less fluff every time I take his picture.
More blue less fluff, might not even be the same one.
I see a dozen or more flying around at one time so there's bound to be several juveniles out there.
Love his mohawk, he's soooo cute!
And this one speakin it's mind!
And here's one ransacking my feeder.
Here's 4 lined up at the suet feeder,
there was another one in the branches on the left but I just missed getting it in the picture.
Young American Robin!
I finally got a picture of a Northern Flicker in my yeard, above is the male.
And the pretty female!!
This Grosbeak freaks me out every time I see him at the suet feeder from a distance,
my heart races and I think it might finally be a Woodpecker.
He's taunting me!!
I chuckle every time I see one of these little ones in the chain link doing the splits.
Lots of young ones around.
Here's a very demanding young Starling who outweighs it's parent
but is very clear what it wants.
They both barely fit on the top of the post.
