Yahoo! All three of the Purple Martin nesting boxes out in front of our
home have little grey heads peeking out today. If one were given to
anthropomor.....oh heck.....allowing human references to extend to avian
species....one would think they were quite stunned as to the vastness of
the world beyond their boxes! Dragonflies seem to be the preferred food
offered by Mom and Dad...or maybe its just a bad day to be a dragonfly.

Also, earlier today at low tide, Greater Yellowlegs out in front poking
through the mud!

Under the heading of great fun.....Our little Red-tailed Hawk nestling
has learned to fly. For three days we have been treated non-stop...yes
I do mean non-stop....to the cries of this excited youngster as s/he
learns to negotiate the breezes along the top of the ridge about the
beach. Just when I didn't think it could get any better, the log
pilings and log hosted three Bald Eagles: 2 adults and on scruffy
looking youngster.

Let's get back to Birds....Life's a beach!
