Family Affair?

On the Nest

Bridge Committee

Juvenile Robin
Visited the Jordan River Parkway looking for Neotropical Cormorants and Belted Kingfisher. Neither was found at the Mill Race site. I walk about a mile north of this location and saw a few birds that would be expected in this formerly farmland, but now suburban sprawl section of the valley. It was a very windy morning, but at least I got my walk in.

There was a large group of Rock Pigeons nesting under the I-215 bridge. Got a shot with a nestling in very dark conditions. I used a monopod and high ISO (1000), but the shot is still blurry as you can see above.

Pigeon info from AvianWeb.....Very cool!
