Baby Blackbirds

Enclosed pond @ South Pier

More from 2024 Erie County, PA nesting season, with amazing, “cute” baby Red-winged Blackbirds (& male and female adult parents) at South Pier last week. This nest spotted in a tuft of reeds well away from the pier; in the shot above, it’s right about at center. Managed to get some decent shots at two oblique angles @ 600mm:

Both the female adult (above) and male adult (below) take turns feeding the chicks. Good thing there are lots of bugs around!
