There was definitely only one youngster there. On June 5, I thought one of the youngsters had fledged, because I only saw one youngster in the nest.I saw two hawks perched on the catwalk railing, which was what the parents often did. I realized one was a youngster, when it jumped back down into the nest.

I definitely never bother squirrels though, but my sister has chased some before as a joke while I was with her. I mean I’m definitely not an easy sight for sore eyes so I can’t say I blame it for being bothered from such a hideous sight. Was it because it saw me or did it see something else? It seemed to stop when I got in my house.

Admittedly this has never crossed my mind as being remotely interesting, young birds are generally awkward things, not yet fitting into the sleek and streamlined expectation of the dictionary definition of “bird” Furthermore, thrushes are often underappreciated creatures on their own.

I enjoyed Shakespeare in the Park this weekend, a tradition I definitely missed last year. We’re also accustomed at this time of year to have little out of the ordinary to pursue… except when that predictable/unpredictable vagrant comes along. Basically, summer birding resembles that of other seasons, just hotter and slower!

It took me a few years before I was able to see one properly, and the wait was definitely worth it. The largest and most striking of the three antshrikes in T&T is the aptly named Great Antshrike. Out of the three species of antshrikes described here, only the Great Antshrike seems to be an ardent follower of army ant swarms.

There is definitely some beauty to the colouring of this species at this stage of their lives. Black-breasted Buzzards and White-bellied Sea-Eagles have a similar flight pattern.

Of all the birds he did see he most appreciated a very cooperative Red-throated Loon at Breezy Point on Friday morning, stretching the definition of weekend but it is a pandemic so all bets are off. He also chased and dipped on a Spotted Towhee in Nassau County, which would have been a new bird for him in New York State. How about you?

Along the seashore, around lakes, and in most cities, the Great-tailed Grackle definitely qualifies as a trash bird. You might even tire of seeing them flutter above treetops while singing their long twittery song. This is a species that has very much learned to cohabit with humans, causing its population to explode into new areas.
