6-04-06 Cardinal!

I never got a photo, but Barbara rescued a baby starling from her cat Leah. The rescue folks wouldn't tale it, so she decided to feed it by hand and care for it. It was doing great the first few days and the neighbor kids from two houses up were super interested. You can tell a your starling from the very yellow gape they have around their mouth.

Meanwhile, a juvenile from the long standing cardinal family came by the feeder and bath.







Here's a close up. He's still pretty fluffy and not too red yet, but her flies very well and is feeding himself. He's past the begging stage.

Meanwhile, here's the owl couple. Barbara reports the baby is doing well. I heard the Blue jay screaming at the owls but couldn't get a good shot of them. Oh well.
