We watched the purple martin youngsters learn to fly this week--what fun, now all families have taken off. At this time we are watching 4 young cooper hawks sitting on nest and in near by tree waiting for the parents to bring more food! Just hope it is mice and other rodents and not our little birds. We see and hear the summer tanagers but have not located their nest--but we enjoy their songs. Lots of hatchings---parents are busy collecting suet and insects. Babies we have seen: n.cardinals, titmouse, wrens, e. phoebe, chickadee, lots of house wrens and more. Have a great summer! Just reporting some happenings at Cedar Gap Farm.

You can't take a vacation from being a birder. You may claim to spend time lounging on the beach, but I know the binoculars will not be far from your hands!
