Of Oriole and Falcon Families

.
Carol and I couldn't go near the flowers alongside our garage today without being buzzed and sworn at by a Mama Baltimore Oriole.  She spent her day protecting and bringing food to this and another of her fledglings who stayed in the garden from breakfast to suppertime.

Meanwhile I found out that the Peregrine Falcons at the Cobb Plant were successful again in raising a family.  This year they used a new box on the facility itself (not either of the boxes on the smokestack).  They raised three youngsters all of which were banded by Nik Kalejs of the Michigan DNR as usual.
