Birds of interests

Just a short entry to show you  who has been distracting my attention lately! Both of these nests are active- babies will come and go, parents will come visit.

First are two hummingbird babies, Joplin and Heather. Joplin has fledged and keeps coming back to the nest; Heather is trying her wings but hasn't yet left for the first time, but it will be any minute now! Mom comes back to feed the two often.

The 2nd nest is closer to home- Peregrine Falcons right in SLC. There are 4 chicks, which are also trying out their early wings and getting ready to leave the nest. One was eating a small bird this morning. Falcons hunt other birds.
