Fledglings

Since returning to the PacNW last week I've seen a lot of fledglings in the yard.  We've had Spotted towhees, Red-breasted nuthatches, Chestnut-backed chickadees and Downy woodpeckers.  I was working in the yard today when I noticed an unusual number of visitors to our inverted suet feeder (many with fledglings) so I retrieved my camera and took advantage of the situation.  Some of the photos I obtained are probably my best for some of the species. 

Later in the afternoon I created a California quail feeding area which I hope will help reduce predations by my recently acquired Rock pigeon gang.
