Northern Flicker And Chick At Our Bird Feeder here On Cape Cod.

These two Northern Flickers were enjoying our bird feeders the other day. It looked like Dad was showing the little one, who wasn’t very little, how to get seed from the feeder. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

The first photograph is of the male adult on top of the feeder. The 2nd one is the baby looking back at Dad, and the 3rd one is of them both on the feeder. The little one doesn’t quite know what do do.

So cute, don’t you think?

 

Bluebird Feeding Its Chick In Our Yard On Cape Cod.

I love it when the Bluebirds have their babies in our yard. They are so much fun to watch. This Mom would fly down to the feeder and get a mealworm while the baby stood on top of the feeder waiting. He was so cute! You can see it with its mouth wide open waiting for some food. (Click on blog link for more photos.)

Love the sequence of photographs. In the 1st photo, mom is on the right with the mealworm in her mouth while the little ones waits patiently. Ha! In the 2nd  and 3rd photos the chick is waiting for dinner while mom is just standing there…

Too cute, don’t you think?

 

Least Terns Feeding On Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

You never know what kinds of birds you will see on Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod. Today it was the Least Tern. They are such a beautiful bird. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)

I couldn’t figure out whether it was a parent feeding its young or just two Least Terns interacting on the beach. Whichever it was, it was pretty cool to watch.

 

Osprey And Two Chicks On Their Nest On Cape Cod!

It was such a treat to see the Osprey and 2 chicks on their nest yesterday. It looked like the young ones were testing their wings and standing abilities. So cute! (Click on blog link for another photo.)

In the 2nd photograph the parent had just flown in with a fish which the little ones were devouring. So much fun to watch them way up high on their nest!

This was the nest that blew down last winter in the high winds. They sure did a good job rebuilding!
