Tree pose. Who knew American Oystercatcher chicks practiced yoga on the beach?
(Apologies in advance for this, yesterday’s post, and future adorable fuzzy juvenile anniversary birding picture posts. Creation is so amazing!)
Anybody here with experience on the sounds a nestling or fledgling Anna's hummingbird makes? I am hearing a strange "peeping" that I've never heard before and an adult is seemingly responding. I posted last week about encountering what I thought was a juvenile, so there could be a second one too. I could not locate where the sound was coming from to get a visual on the "peeping" today.
I've been busy over the last several weeks and haven't been posting much but we've had a few good lifer weeks recently so here we go.
We were visiting my parents in South Central Pennsylvania and got a glimpse of this Sora..... with chicks!
Not the best pic but my first of the Eastern towhee👍
Been hearing them the past two years but not had a chance to photograph. Very cute birds and I ran across it while it was singing its heart out so I got to watch its behavior for a while. Awesome first encounter 🙂

A Loggerhead Shrike fledgling sits on a branch. This little birb is approaching independence slowly but don't worry, one of the parents is watching over from a nearby tree.
