I saw a few birds today and even managed to get pictures! First, there was a juvenile and an adult Ibis wandering between my yard and the neighbor's. Take a look at the juvenile and tell me if that's a feather sticking out of his breast (right above his leg). Does that mean he's molting?

One of our Red-Shouldered Hawks caught something across the street. I was really far away and zoomed in all I could be he still looks tiny.

Then, there was a pair of Cardinals hopping about. One was on the pile of plants my dad trimmed or pulled. I saw it take a twig and fly off with it. Maybe they're making a nest? The female tried hiding in my Black Cherry, but I still saw her!
