There are 2 bluebird fledglings. This morning, they were fed by their father, but by this afternoon, they were eating mealworms all by themselves! (proud)

In this set of 3 photos, a baby bluebird fledgling is on the left, with its dad on the right. There is a pile of dried mealworms next to them. The baby is paying no attention to the mealworms and is honed in on its dad, who picks up some worms and feeds the baby.
The adult male bluebird is on the right and the two fledglings on on the left. Dad had been feeding the pair, but when he got a bit too slow, one of the babies (at the top) started feeding himself.
Adult male bluebird on right, fledgling on left. They are resting on the top of a nesting box and watching the activity at the feeders.

I did manage to correctly identify this common chiffchaff though.

Sometimes Pete is grumpy if I get up late. He starts jiggling his food bowl up and down and it falls to the bottom of his cage. When I let him out, he goes salvaging the spilt food. Here he is being cute ☺️ I have mercifully blurred out bottom of the cage (parrot owners know!)

A bright windy afternoon walk. Good for the soul.

At first, I thought there was only 1 fledgling from the current brood, but today I spotted 2 at the same time. And in other news, the hummingbirds have returned.

Male ruby throated hummingbird at the nectar feeder. He has dark wings, a shimmery green body and a gemlike ruby throat, which from this angle looks black.

I call this series "A Beakful of Bugs"

a song sparrow standing up with its neck stretched all the way, as to look around. it is still carrying plenty of bugs in its beak
the song sparrow now hopped around and is standing under a beam of sunlight, looking pretty against the background
the song sparrow flew away and landed on a thin leafless branch. it is hiding its face behind the branch a bit, grasping tight to the branch. it is still holding tight to its delicious snacks

The bluebirds in the nest box in our yard have fledged! Here, Papa Bluebird feeds a baby that's bigger than him. The baby pushes him around quite a bit, trying to get more food. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #fledgling #bluebird #nature #HoosierMast

Adult male bluebird on the right has his beak (with the food) deep in the baby bluebird's mouth.
Baby bluebird (on the left) pushes the adult bluebird, trying to get every last crumb of food in the transfer. You can see that the only blue is on the fledgling is on the tips of the wing feathers and the rest of the body is covered with mottled white and dark brown feathers.
Baby finally lets the adult go and it flew away almost immediately.

It’s my birthday and I opened my back door to see this gorgeous hawk hanging out. I see hawks often in the trees around my house, including a nesting pair whose arrival marks springtime for me. But I rarely get such a clear and close view, so I’m very grateful for nature’s gift to me today!

I think this pal is a red-shouldered hawk as I don’t see the RTH belly band, but I would love an ID from someone who knows SoCal birds better 😁

Name the species and give its approximate location. Scientific name is a bonus.

Current letters E or F

JOIN IN friends of the birds:

THREAD: A to Z of birds.

The idea is to create a thread of birds starting with A and ending with Z (if we get that far).

Rules:

  1. Common names not Latin names
  2. Flexibility with common names (i.e.. American Robin (A) or (R)
  3. IMPORTANT: You can post the same letter bird or the next letter forward but not backward.

(Only photographs please of any quality)
