First came the noisy baby Starlings, with their 'Skirr, skirr' begging 
calls (drive you nuts fast!), then the Hairy Woodpecker mother brought a 
female, then a male baby to the peanut feeder, and the peanut butter 
suet. A Chipping Sparrow fed a speckled-breasted young one, and a young 
Junco was also seen.   A downy young Chickadee with short tail feathers 
on the outer edges had a bath in the birdbath and 2 young House Sparrows 
were seen sitting quietly together on a branch.  A female Downy 
Woodpecker came with her male young one to the birch tree with the 
peanut butter, and a male Downy fed a female fledgling.  Song Sparrows 
are being seen now with grass in their beaks, but no baby Songs have yet 
been spotted - a second try?  House Sparrows are also carrying grass 
again.  It's an interesting time of year!
