Zach. He'll be up for adoption in the Bronx 237th Street Petco in late June or early July, once he's been neutered and had his first round of shots. His mom is there now and he's practically a clone of her. She's 10 months old and still needs to be spayed. She'll be up for adoption once that happens, which should be soon.

What’s up with the baby squirrels? Well first we have this little hell on wheels baby who is a huge spaz zooming around running on top of family members all the time. But in the third picture we have a baby I’m worried about. It lists to the side and tips over frequently. It does not seem sick, maybe some type of neurological issue I have no idea 🥺

A sibling has joined the wild child baby at the food platter, squirrel with little twists in a leap over its siblings back
The corn on the cob has been dragged into a corner by a mamma squirrel and the little squirrel I’m worried about is enjoying some corn. He lists to the left and is just about to tip over but looks well enough otherwise

I thought I was taking a photo of a Red-winged Blackbird. Or a European Starling because there were babies in a nest box just to the left of this tree. But no, it was neither! This was totally unexpected and my first time seeing a Bobolink.

I made a trip to Overpeck County Park in Leonia, NJ today just so I could see Purple Martins. They have a nice condo setup but it seems to be lacking bedding so the birds were busy shopping this morning. Looks like the condos will be lined with grass and leaves.

Grey squirrel looked exhausted so I shared my bounty.

The Killdeer nest has failed. And someone stole 2 eggs. One of the Killdeer looked like e was making another nest in the middle of the field that will be filled with cars in two weeks. Hopefully the third attempt at a nest will succeed.

I saw this doe on my ride up to Tibbetts Brook Park this morning. Seems like tick season hasn't started yet given how clean her ears look.

A dog flushed the Killdeer from its nest so I had an opportunity to count the eggs before it hopped back on the nest. This nest will likely fail because cars will be parked in the area where it is starting on Memorial Day weekend. I don't think the eggs will have hatched by then. But they might. We're at day 9 or 10 and Memorial Day weekend is in 14 days. Killdeer eggs hatch between day 22 and 29. 🤞

Because there are never enough Green Herons on Mastodon, here's one.

Grey and white kitten is laying almost loafing on top of a grey Birkenstock sandal. She's looking right at the camera with her blue-grey eyes.

Not very crisp, but this is one of two Green Herons in Van Cortlandt park. The other one was still busy with building the nest.

I saw two Green Herons this morning in Van Cortlandt Park and found that they're building a nest!

A tangle of small twigs in tree branches and a blurry view of a Green Heron above the tangle. This tangle is a nest.

The Wood Ducklings are growing! I was glad to see all four of them just after I saw a male Wood Duck get pulled into the water, likely by a snapping turtle.

Killdeer was still sitting on the nest, in the rain this morning.

Barn Swallows are building a nest in a pavilion in Tibbetts Brook Park. They weren't happy about me observing them.
