Momma Wren laid one more egg the other day and has been sitting on them the last two days straight No new pics because I don't want to disturb her.

Went to a car show today at a city park in northern IL and up in the top of a sycamore tree was a pair of Bald Eagles with two near fledgling eaglets. I am glad my car was not under that tree.
Oh…..btw…..I got ‘Best Import’.

I see those once and a while in town.

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Getting his antler nubs. Also the hormones are definitely kicking in lol. Watched him and his brother for a long time about 50ft away. When they decided to head over towards the pond I followed them. One decided he needed to keep an eye on me. Started huffing and stomping the ground so I backed up and went back to the house. He followed me all the way to the dog kennel about 20ft from the house and sniffed the ground a lot. My bad lol

What kind of bird is that?

This guy was hanging out on my window. He was part of a very loud chorus on a muggy rainy night.
