Male Canvasback at GBH Reserve

 

Paradise Park, Sardis

During my neighborhood walk this morning I was fortunate to come across these two young accipiters calling for their parents. I would not have known they were there if they had not called as they were so high up. Look like possible Sharp-shins, more likely Cooper's.( This is Manual Park but Google maps show it as Paradise?)

Back at the Heron Reserve

Back at my favourite local birding patch a month after seeing the chickadee's preparing a nesting cavity they are now feeding young.

 Further down the trail a Song Sparrow and Warbling Vireo's were singing

On the Selwein Loop a group of Turkey Vultures dropped in for a rest on the dead snags.

GBHE Reserve

I was recently at the reserve and was pleased to catch a Black-capped Chickadee preparing a nesting cavity.
