I didn't have the camera but the scissortails are really out in high number this year. Those are some cool birds! I have a whole mess of birds that have moved into my finches nest since they have left. I have to figure out what they are.

I saw a ruffed grouse the other day. Hope someone doesn't shoot it. People do that here.
The red tailed hawk family I've been watching had a tragedy. One of the babies was killed when he tried to fly over a busy street and fell into traffic. He was found with a rat in his talons (possibly his first kill).
The other two babies are thriving, and enjoyed a food fight this morning. A photographer documented the event here:

I - and two cars - had to yield to a large family (or possibly two families) of Canada geese crossing the street this morning. There were at least a dozen...the youngsters definitely had the adult coloring, but were noticably smaller. The largest one - possibly the adult male - stayed in the lane longest and gave me the stink eye as I rode past, trying to shoo it off the road.
