2018 “Young-uns”

An old live oak tree within the Old Burying Ground has a cavity filled with nestling catbirds waiting to be fed.

Starlings also use a cavity as a nest. Here are the young birds as they progress from nest to independence, from fledgling to fully-fledged…

Newly fledged juveniles are able to fly, but look scrappy. Obviously, it’s an awkward life stage for a bird, waiting until feathers grow in.


May my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living.
