You know how teenagers are always hungry? That goes for fledglings too. A pair of sibling eastern bluebirds pester Dad Bluebird for another worm or bug or two. I have to say the expression on the bigger fledgling is very, very funny and oh, so much a grumpy pout. Enjoy!

TagJordan Lake, Haw River: Fledgling? Where?
Whether it is a teenager with the keys to the car or a fledgling that has the whole sky in which to fly, this time in a youngster’s life is hard on a parent! The father blue grosbeak has caught a bug for his youngster. Now, he has to find the fledging. Ever consider how hard it is to keep track of a teenager … especially one that can fly?
Jordan Lake and Haw River: Mockingbird Antics
When someone mentions a flycatcher, we tend to think of phoebes or swallows or even blue-grey gnatcatchers. But, ha, the northern mockingbird is good at catching insects in flight too. Yesterday, I caught up with a mockingbird, on the wing, chasing his breakfast at the lake.

On my way to see a veterinary patient this morning I stopped by the dam. The whole area was suffused in a gold and mauve fog and a brilliant sun rising above the ground clouds. Take care. Be safe. Oh, be very, very well. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen
