Downstairs

Pigeon portrait
New dove nest, a twofer. The base was a robins' nest last summer. Doves added twigs on top and moved in. I suspect there's a baby up there. Well protected nest from all sides.
Cardinal nest even more secluded.
Dumb kid. Young robin pulled up a worm and then sat on it. It takes them a while to learn worm=food.
This robin needs a towel

Watching behavior

Very well hidden cardinal's nest, slight opening for viewing. Great nest location.
Getting big, young robins still need food from Papa.

Staring the food down?

How sweet it is

Oh sweet,  very immature female finch. Look at head fuzz, a baby, but she knows how to find food.
At same age the robins are not yet independent.
Hunt and peck, but not efficient yet.
                             Adult strong starling. Good at finding food.
