The young blue Jays are all around in the field and can be spotted easily in the open.

Preening Practice

This Kid was surely learning fast!
It was practicing almost everything it learned and with the amount of different activities it made in an hour or so I can say this one is going to be one of the most active Swallows in the field.

Finally I succeeded in getting reasonably sharp and in focus image of this hyperactive bird. This was the most active evenings I have witnessed to date at
Tarrywile Park.

Eastern Blue Bird

The Eastern Bluebird, a member of the Thrush family and one of three species of bluebirds that occur in North America, is a cavity nester that lives in open country. They occur in the eastern half of North America as far west as the Rocky Mountains, and as far south as Nicaragua. Populations have suffered since these birds must compete with House Sparrows, Starlings, woodpeckers and other cavity nesters. Placement of nest boxes for Bluebirds has resulted in population increases in many regions. These birds are an important predator on destructive insects such as grasshoppers, caterpillars, crickets, Katydids, and beetles. Their diet also consists of various berries, spiders, sow bugs, earthworms and snails.

Bluebirds are popular with bird watchers. The male is deep blue above, with a chestnut throat, breast and flanks. Many people place specially designed nest boxes in suitable habitat to provide nesting opportunities for Bluebirds.

Black Capped Chickadee

I saw one of these cute birds at the very beginning of my shoot so I decided to keep focused on only one bird today as I left for the shoot very late in the evening.

I got some more pictures and will post them soon.

Information:
A bird almost universally considered “cute” thanks to its oversized round head, tiny body, and curiosity about everything, including humans. The chickadee’s black cap and bib; white cheeks; gray back, wings, and tail; and whitish underside with buffy sides are distinctive. Its habit of investigating people and everything else in its home territory, and quickness to discover bird feeders, make it one of the first birds most people learn.

Chickadees are active, acrobatic, curious, social birds that live in flocks, often associating with woodpeckers, nuthatches, warblers, vireos, and other small woodland species. They feed on insects and seeds, but seldom perch within several feet of one another while taking food or eating. Flocks have many calls with specific meanings, and they may contain some of the characteristics of human language.

American Goldfinch

On my way home I found one Goldfinch sitting low in the grass but sun was on opposite side an I wanted to capture the light in its eye so I tried to adjust my position but these tiny birds are restless and move around very quickly so I lost it without a single shot.

When I was about to exit the park I went to visit the old berry tree and found another finch in low grass and this time I did not try to adjust my position instead captured few pictures first. Again when I was about to get the pictures from the angle I wanted this flew away.

Hope you enjoyed watching this.

I will soon be out shooting to capture Cardinal and Blue Jay..
