This little sparrow entered our lives 15 days ago as a baby, its mother died of heat under the roof, and its brothers died of cold during the nights. In any case, life makes its way, and here it is.

Every month, we’re at this spot to collect photos, but only today did I notice that a mama bird built her nest chest high an arm’s length from our camera trap. Any idea what kind of birds these are?

The are also still around, and some are still feeding babies, but molting has also begun, giving some of them theb est and most dramatic looks. As if they couldn’t already do that with their plumage fully intact!⁠

Talk about practicing what you preach! Our director, Fred West, is an important part of of the Seattle community, in both choral and aviary pursuits. Fred has a flock of feathered friends that look forward to visits and some tasty bird seed during his walks around Seattle. The birds and singers thank you!

AAAS: "The two main reasons birds get 'divorced'." The overwhelming majority of bird species honor a commitment to a single mate. But “divorce” happens when one individual mates with a new partner while its companion from the past breeding season is still alive. "Two main factors are responsible, according to a study published this week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: male promiscuity and migration distance.' Genetically, it may be a rewarding evolutionary strategy for males to court multiple bird bachelorettes + spread their genes to as many offspring as feasible. "The same doesn’t go for females, they say, likely because the expensive cost of egg production means females prefer quality mates over quantity." A longer migration distance also increases the possibility that birds might have difficulty finding their true loves once they arrive at their breeding grounds. If they fail, then many birds will resort to seeking out a rebound relationship instead. In the photo is a mated pair of Grey Herons (Ardea cinerea), a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. I'm not even going to tip my toe into drawing comparisons with mammals such as humans.

Spotted a beautiful Heron in Moreton Bay. Such an elegant bird to observe.

This family is so much fun to watch. I am unfamiliar with most of what they do but I can tell some patterns, as described in the video. The babies all seem to do well so far, and the rain helped a lot with the food situation.
