A Gray-cheeked Thrush contemplates abandoning all dignity and face-diving into an orange. If you ask me, no bird looks more at home with an orange than a male Baltimore. Like peas and carrots. Tennessee Warbler. Of all warblers, the humble and adaptable TEWA has the strongest preference for oranges. Northern Parula.

Most troubling for me, because I think of them as my birds, is the abandoned nesting attempt by a pair of Pacific Loons. The next day the pair was still in the lake, but egg was still there which gave me some hope that the nest hadn’t been abandoned. I know birds are around, as friends have seen them but for me nada.

After doing all this pretty much by themselves, the females abandon the young before they can fly, usually 30 to 50 days after they hatch. Females often move broods downstream to larger lakes, rivers and bays from smaller streams and ponds near the nest site 1. They are able to fly at 60 to 75 days old and do just fine without mom.
