I am envious. I have to tell you about the trip I am planning in Mexico.

Hi birders,

This morning we had a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk on a nearby roof top, "playing" with a stick:

And now the "I totally was NOT playing with that stick...STOP making fun of me..." look

So along with the incessant RT Hawk juvi begging for food calls, more evidence of the recent Red-tailed Hawk fledglings in our neighborhood.

And in other fledgling news, the Violette-green Swallows nested in one of our nest boxes again, Lesser Goldfinches, House Finches, Purple Finches, and Pygmy Nuthatches have been feeding young on our deck, while the California Quail continue to bring chicks to scratch for the seed below.

Fun bird morning,

Pete Sol&eacute;
