I've been enjoying the great bird pics. Here's a few I took. I was trying to get a pic of another kind of bird when four Brown-headed cowbirds came and chased it off. Geez, the size of that chick! It looks really big! So I wonder, do the chicks raised by other species just find its own kind right away as soon as it is able to get around well? The foster mother probably said to herself "Whew! I thought that chick would never leave, what a little piggie!"

I caught the Black-crested Titmouse with a big seed in its beak (or maybe it had more than one), I think it was afraid of dropping it, so it landed on an Ashe Juniper Tree to avoid that.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
