Errata- red tailed hawk Fred Sears 7/20/13

Or however one says rushing about at lunch in latin. So Clark wrote and noted the bird I imaged was likely a young of year Red-tailed Hawk, which I believe is correct. It appears that two young of year Red-tailed Hawks are at Bug Lake, both can fly, both are actively calling and begging from the adults -one of which is the blue tagged wing bird that is often around I-5 and bug lake. Another calling view of one of the birds in question.

Young birds, Fred Sears 7/19/13

Also have groups of young hummingbirds feeding in the front lawn right now. Have not seen an adult male in about two weeks.

Red Tail Blue wing tag‏ Fred Sears 7/19/13

So the Red-tailed Hawk with the Blue wing tag apparently nested by St. Joe's this year (a cottonwood between St. Joe's and Cornwall park). At the Current time it is humoring/ enticing a young Red-tailed Hawk to fly and fend for itself which it seems reluctant to do. The image is of the the untagged adult. Both adults are actively calling and flying close to the chick seemingly trying to entice it to fly which it response to by rapidly jumping between limbs on its tree of the moment.

Hooded Merganser and Cooper's Hawk fledglings Pat Buhl 7/22/13

What I think may be a juvenile Hooded Merganser (please correct if I'm wrong about that), has been feeding in Whatcom Creek just upstream from the Derby Pond in Whatcom Falls Park, and hanging out with the Mallards in and around the Derby Pond, for the last couple of days.
There were also three Cooper's Hawk fledglings in the sunny, relatively open area near the nest on the trail to Scudder Pond, on July 14... one was seen today across the trail from the nest.
