STYLISH DO - A female Cardinal sports a particularly red crest. The Cardinal's pointed crest is strictly feathers. The extra long feathers at the top of the head can be raised and lowered at will. Birds with crest use them to communicate, generally raising them when they are excited or aggressive. I'm saying the plentiful sunflower seeds got this girl excited.

SUMMER DIET - A Chickadee with it's insect lunch. Chickadee's summer diet is mostly caterpillars and other insects and a blooming Azalea is a good place to hunt for meals.

CHICKS GROWING - At least one Heron chick has grown enough to be seen (occasionally) above the edge of the nest. Cute - in a homely sort of way.

CAN YOU SPOT THE CHICK? - After many years of watching Herons on the beaver pond - I know to look closely when I see an adult Heron standing in the nest - because it usually means newly hatched chicks, this one barely big enough to raise it's head above the edge of the nest.
