I’m amazed at how fast the chicks grow! Another busy day for mom and dad, delivering groceries. I cut some brush along the road this afternoon. Dad watched from the power lines above me and I apparently turned up several tasty morsels – he was quick to swoop down and claim them.

I haven’t forgotten the loons. The Middletons have mated and selected their nest site. They’ve even moved some vegetation around near the nest. I’ve been over every morning since Saturday, just way behind on editing the photos. A post with details on the Middletons and their pond mates coming soon.

We’re watching eastern bluebirds in a nesting box with a camera installed inside to let us watch without disturbing them. The camera switches to black & white in low light. And, the exposure control stinks, that’s why it washes out or goes black as a bird comes or goes. We occasionally get some pixelated frames in the video, I think that is a WiFi issue. A new WiFi repeated is on the way.
