I had the best baby Grebe experience of my life after work yesterday. I posted a video last night of a feeding session. This still shows a grebeling with a big crawfish in its tiny beak. 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #FoodInBeaks

Saw a pair of Pied-billed Grebes and their 3 babies this evening. One baby tried it's darndest to get a taxi ride on mom/dad without luck. 🪶 Feeding session video.

Portrait of an American Crow. This beauty landed in my backyard to let me know it needed to be fed. I feed the crows in the front yard, so I think this is progress in my befriending scheme. 🪶 #ThursJay #Corvids

This morning I noticed a fluffed up Nuthatch on top of the nesting box and thought maybe it was a fledgling. On closer inspection it was Mom, probably waiting for her morning coffee to kick in. Not much later she and Dad were back at it. 🪶
