Baby Bird Season


Although some birds, like our wading birds (Egrets, Herons, etc.) nest and raise young early in the year, April is often the official start of "baby bird season" for song birds (crows, jays, cardinals, wrens, mockingbirds, chimney swifts, woodpeckers and others) and some other birds. Here is a photo of two very young sandhill crane babies taken recently by my friend Betsy Marx.
