The swallow's nest from the other day is empty, the chicks have fledged, but this one in the lower orchard near eucalyptus grove has now progressed to where the chicks are showing in the nest opening; however, I think there is only one chick!

Pygmy nuthatches still regularly visit back yard suet feeder, difficult to tell anymore which ones are the parents, and which are the first year adults now...

This juvenile bluebird was on the wire fence between back yard and back orchard - could be one of the fledged young from the bluebird nest which I was photographing for the blog.
