Subject: RE: BS: Birdwatching Challenge
I have enjoyed the Purple Martins soaring overhead and feeding their babies. One female has been paying special attention to me whenever I am in the yard and has been trying to knock my hat off. I guess the goldfinches are getting plenty of food as they do not come around all that often. Two house finch couples have nesten on the front porch.   One in a house and the other in a hanging fern. I have peeked at the babies in the fern on occasion.

Here is the list for June.
