Children of the Charles River Peninsula

Box 11, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
The last two nesting attempts, tree swallow and eastern bluebird, are proceeding without problem. (When it gets cooler I will deal with the wasps in the box up top).

Meanwhile, the oriole children are exploring the meadow edges. Eating berries.

And two yellow warbler children (from the nest already documented here) are hanging in the brush near the water

waiting for their father to come feed them.
Today's jaw-opener: a huge dark bird (probably a juvenile bald eagle) passing over the Needham town dump. Didn't expect to see that!
