Because Bird Babies are Cute

A fluffy baby Goldfinch sleeps it off at the feeder.







A baby Bohemian Waxwing stopped by the front porch for a visit.



It made its way to the railing where it assessed the situation.



With daring and determination it made its way away.

Oh, what fabulous pictures! The baby birdies are adorable. :)

Thanks, Thomma Lyn. I suspect the waxwing was on its first flight and only got a few feet before needing to rest.

OMG - so cute!! Excellent job of photographing those babies, cousin.

Leah J. Utas said...

Thanks, Nancy. They are fun to watch.

dfBag Lady, thank you. The waxwing was most accommodating.

Wonderful photos. Reminded me of my breeding pair of lovebirds when they taught the chicks to fly. The chicks fall a few times, reconsider their position and finally get the hang of it.

Thank you, Barbara. I think this little one was a learner.

How cute!! What a fierce, determined little expression he has!

Leah J. Utas said...

Missicat, yes. I was surprised by it's intensity.

Reb said...

Lovely photos Leah. And he left you a present! LOL

Leah J. Utas said...

Yes, he did, Reb. Got a real action shot here. I didn't notice until later when I was showing the pics to Mike.

Great pictures! I had no idea birds could convey emotions but he really looked determined.

Thanks for all the lovely pictures.

Leah J. Utas said...

Hello Fifth Sparrow. He really does, doesn't he?
