Squawking

This Eastern bluebird female was in a frenzy in the treetops. A male sparrow had invaded her nest and she was beside herself as she helped her mate try to oust it from their territory. With lots of wing action, scolding and squawking, and divebombing, they were putting up a heck of a fight for the little nest so skillfully constructed from pine straw. There aren’t any eggs yet; hopefully the scuffle will be resolved and the sparrow will find a place to lodge under the M at McDonald’s or the A at Arby’s where he can fare just fine! P.S. Please view this photo in larger mode so you can better appreciate the delicate little balancing act as this female is standing on one leg, the other retracted and ready for flight as she divebombs the menacing sparrow!

My life has been greatly enriched since I met Mrs. Redbird. She and I spend hours together, but most of the time she doesn’t even know I’m close by. I watch from my hiding place as she sets serenely on her three speckled eggs. Sometimes she gets a bit drowsy but never keeps her eyes closed for more than a few seconds. Always on the lookout, always wary, she is on red alert constantly. Every now and then she appears to be yawning when she stretches her beak open as she is doing in this photo. She looks curiously at ants that crawl past her and may swipe at them, but I’ve never seen her eat one yet. When crows caw, she cranes her neck upward and a look of fear comes into her eyes. That sound always gets her undivided attention. Once, she sang out loudly, a short little tune; I thought she may have been signaling her husband who dropped by for a visit only once while I was on watch duty. Every half hour or so, she stands up in the nest and appears to be turning the eggs or readjusting them and then she resumes her brooding position. Sometimes, she changes her position from a northward stance to a southward stance, or she rotates from east to west. If I happen to move too much, she flees the nest in a flash so I try to stay quiet, camouflaged, and unflinching. Some people may think I’m kooky to watch a little bird for so long, but I like to think of it as a friendship, one that never bores me and never grows tiring. I’ll be back later with more tales from my life with Mrs. Redbird.

Okay, I need some help from the birders here. I know it’s a young hawk but I didn’t get a photo of the adult so I don’t know what kind of hawk. / A friend of mine was doing some dozer work and knocked down and old hollow tree and didn’t realize there was a nest of hawks living there. They have left the log and stopped work in this area until the babies are old enough to fly. / The adult bird didn’t bother me while I was there but she’s been taking care of them. Can you imagine, the tree came down almost 3 weeks ago and my friend just thought to call me today? I found them in a book I borrowed. / This is an American Kestrel ( Falco sparverius) Because of the bright colors I believe this is a male. My “baby Falcon Tri” photo shows 3 babies 1 of which is female.

Captured this Gull with a milk bottle wine gum how strange ? Gulls often informally Seagulls are birds in the family Laridae. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, and skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until recently, most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. They are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls. They have stout, longish bills, and webbed feet.

This photo was taken May 16, 2008 at 6:35 PM in the Snohomish Valley, Washington. I stopped to try and catch another shot of the baby hawks in their nest, but the tree leaves are now hiding them. The adult hawks didn’t seem to care and came across the river to tell me they were still not happy at my presense. This is one of the hawks perched on a branch squaking at me.
