Fledglings Everywhere!




The wind has been strong the past couple of days, and it has blown fledglings out of their nests and trees just a day or two too soon. One morning I counted three American Robins, (Turdus migratorius) and two European Starlings, (Sturnus vulgaris).
This little starling was sitting in the tomato garden, frowning up at my sister and me while we were weeding.
Other fledglings appearing since the beginning of the week include House Finches, (Carpodacus mexicanus) and House Sparrows, (Passer domesticus).
