Young Red-shoulder Hunting @ Fell House
I heard this young Red-shoulder before I saw him. Grabbed a camera and got a shot from my front yard of the bird perched at the Fell House.
Also gives me an excuse to post my favorite young Red-shoulder pic — Manfred eating a baby Snapping Turtle in the Celery Farm.

Thanks for these pics. I did not even see the turtle at first! I have not been out birding because of the heat. Cannot wait to get out and go again.

I often wonder how Manfred is doing? He still is my favorite, such a cutie!
