A Young Peregrine on the Ascent
Yesterday in the Mohonk Preserve near New Paltz, N.Y., Chris Nadareski of the NYC DEP released four young rehabbed peregrines,…
In all the hubbub over the owlets and wood ducklings, I sort of lost track of the robin’s nest in the side yard.
When Jerry the photographer and I went to photograph the empty nests this morning, we discovered three baby robins being fed by their mom.
Didn’t want to disturb the family, so I only took a few shots with a zoom.
Mom would fly up to the neighbor’s roof (above) before flying in to feed the babies.
What an ending to the past seven days: 4 owlets, 9 wood ducklings and at least 3 baby robins.
Found a real surprise in the wood duck box.
More on that later.
