The rose-breasted grosbeaks are back! Or at least the females are:
Away goes baby finch after his father...
An English sparrow peers around the corner of the bird feeder. Whoa, what kind of bird is that?!
A second female rose-breasted grosbeak lights on the feeder.
Baby house finch flapping and squawking for food -- and doesn't even notice his father is right behind him.
Instead, he's all engrossed with the male on the right who is not his father.
A true macro lens certainly gives one a different view of small things.
I thought this clay-colored weevil was dead -- but it turned out he was just camera-shy. Every time I got the lens too close to him, he tucked his head and drew his legs up under his wings.
I backed off a wee bit, and he started 'coming out of his shell' again, as it were.
Who knew? Weevils' mothers make them hand-knitted sweaters!
Time to clean off the ol' feelers...
