I was walking the puppies when I noticed 2 immature bald eagles in "Eagle Tree." Eagle Tree is a very tall tree where eagles usually land. The two birds flew off and then one landed in another tree while the other bird went back to Eagle Tree. Then, the bird on Eagle Tree flew over to the one in the other tree, called to it, and they both flew off together. Its always wonderful to see bald eagles. Its even better to hear their voices.
On something less momentous, I have a mockingbird nest in one of the holly bushes. This is the second time in 3 years for this bush. By the end of the month, there will be this peep, peep, peep. That is the single peep sound that the babies make. They will jump from the bush, land on the ground, and walk off boldly with their peep, peep, going. Both parents will be watching them as they move off. By night, they will be in a bush. After that, they will fly from one tree to another with their peep, peep, peep. That goes on for some time and the parents are always there to feed them.
In August, the entire area here is filled with these little peep, peep, peeps and I never can get enough of it. I hope to get some images of the kids after they jump to the ground by the end of this month.
