Immature Broad-winged Hawk
It has been very exciting to find even more great wildlife while touring my neighbourhood. The Broad-winged Hawk pictured above is a perfect example. Actually two such hawks were seen together which makes me wonder if they will be nesting. I have already found a Cooper's Hawk nest and will devote future blog posts to both these species.
Male and female Mallards
White-breasted Nuthatch
A pair of these nuthatches has been scouting out a few tree cavities and trying them on for size. I will continue to keep an eye out for an active nest.
Golden-crowned Kinglet
American Tree Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
European Starling
American Kestrel
I was thrilled to see a Kestrel. This beautiful little falcon is on the decline and this is the first one I have seen in several years.
You have quite the eye. Maybe I should call you Hawkeye.
ReplyDeleteI like that! :-)
DeleteBeautiful! May they all have successful nests.
ReplyDeleteThanks messymimi. I hope they will too (and that I get to photograph the babies). :-)
DeleteLovely pictures. Starlings have wonderful, and colourful, markings. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Flighty. I totally agree about Starlings!
DeleteHow wonderful that you'll finding wildlife close to home. Great photos as usual. :-)
