Now that July has arrived, there are baby birds everywhere.  I am finding fledglings at nearly every birding stop I make.  I don't think I've ever seen so many - but then I haven't been looking quite as hard as I have been this season.  It's a wonderful world out there!  Enjoy some babies - mixed in with some of their hard-working parents!

I couldn't capture more of this shy Carolina Wren - but he was an adorable recent fledgling

The pair of Eastern Bluebirds that were checking out our nest boxes, returned with their young one. What a treat!

This young House Wren was a real poser.

This young Common Yellowthroat was begging up a storm and causing his dad to rush around looking for insects.
