Taking a pause from the Maine trip, yesterday's sun finally produced some good photo ops - and the young birds cooperated.
First, two young Blue Jays, one who had feeding himself/herself almost figured out, but still calling in hopes that the free ride would continue - and one begging noisily and impatiently ...
Young male Downy Woodpecker ...
Fledgling Purple Finch ...
Plus ... went to see the Henslow"s Sparrow again ... he was cooperative in singing, but still too far away for any identifiable photo.
Good birding!

Very nice pictures. I did see my first Henslow last Friday. They are very rare around Bluff Country.
The snaps of the birds are extremely beautiful.
Awesome pictures. I LOVE the second one!
Hi Chris,
This is nice to see youngsters! You got them well sir, a very nice set of pictures!
Nice one of the Downy's wings. I love it when they baby birds beg noisily and impatiently.
Nice shots! Great capture of the downys wing spread!
I like the Fledgling Purple Finch. Not a bird I get here often in Queens and in fact, picked my first of the backyard this past Winter.
...really like the young bluejay photos and great capture of the Downy's wing pattern!
