Well, I guess between tennis matches, I can at least look out of the window and see how the home birds are doing!
This was a surprise! A young Towhee. I knew the minute it raised that black and white tail what it was. The tail must be the first part to look like the adult bird :-)
I only got a couple of shots of it, but am glad to see that the Towhee's had a successful nest. It chased all the little House Sparrows away......I think I like Towhees! The House Sparrow "brat pack" get more than their share of the seeds.
The young Titmice are busy learning to visit all the feeders and peck seeds between their toes.
This one reminded me....very nicely....that it was time to add seeds to the hanging feeders.
The Chickadee and Titmouse were both having a good time picking out seeds. Not much crest on that Titmouse yet or side color.
A young cardinal on the rail. This one was still "fluttering" and hoping daddy would provide some food.
Looks a bit "pouty".
This one looks older, starting to get some color.

Hi Mary, I love seeing the 'young' birds... That Towhee is so cute.... I haven't seen any here.
Love the baby Cardinal also... I love to hear their little tinkle-bell sounds---and to watch them shake all over....
Hope you are enjoying the matches.
Hugs,
Betsy
hello~ these pictures are great. i love watching birds at my feeder too. they provide some interesting shots, don't they?
i'm not a tennis watching fan but from what little i've seen of Federer i think he's got a good shot at winning. he's really good. hope you've enjoyed the match. have a great night.
NIce selection of birds.Those young ones look a little scruffy.
Blessings,Ruth
Nice lot of "Youngens" Mary, especially the "pinky" Cardinal.
I'm glad you took the time to look out of your window and get these pictures to share with us. I especially enjoyed seeing the young Towhee.
Hi Mary
Nice to see lots of different Birds in your Garden as well as the young ones once again nice shots :))
Sounds like you are having fun with the tennis! At least you can get some good photos in your yard!
