Maggie's Farm

Around here, this was the weekend when many birds left their nests and scattered around begging their parents for food.

There is a fledgeling Catbird out my window right now in the rose bushes, asking Mom and Dad for a bug or two.  We have fully-spotted Robins, still with their wide mouths, on the lawn. A bunch of tiny House Wrens in the shrubbery. A fledgeling Cardinal in a Holly tree. Four baby Barn Swallows, sitting in a line on a dead branch. Noisy baby Grackles on the lawn and fledgeling Crows cawing for food in the treetops.

And, down the lane, two fledgeling Ospreys exercising their wings on a high nest, preparing for their first adventures.
