The kestrel chicks are flying and practicing the art of landing.  I’ve counted at least four and a possible fifth.  They are a noisy lot and heaps of fun to watch!

The Winter Wren continues to wake me each morning so I have no doubt they they are raising a family down by the brook.  And, the Bob-o-links have gone radio silence so I am hoping that they are incubating some eggs and will hatching chicks soon.  I realize that they are late but think that they were displaced from a hay field that was cut early.   We’ll no mow our meadow until mis August to assure them peace and quiet.
