After a week of cold winds out of the Northeast we are reverting to normal June temperatures. The feeder was full of cardinals and finches. They all seem rather crabby this week. The stress of parenting fledglings?
By noon it clouded over. The hummer visited as did a Carolina wren. A mallard got her five ducklings stuck in the pool. Someone's baby bird, not yet fledged is sitting on the patio, mostly sleeping. It has a seed-cracking beak and it's as big as a finch already, but still downy. Are cardinals so colorless at this age?
