Came across this Barred Owl one lovely Saturday morning. He did not seem the least concerned by human observers. He was much more intent on his breakfast. In this video you can see hijm spot, catch and eat a crawfish (gulp!)

We all know the Mockingbird mimics other birds' calls...did you know the Brown Thrasher does it too? He's not quite as good at it...it seems more mechanical than musical, and he only repeats each call twice instead of 3 or more like the mocker. But still neat to see and hear!

A pair of American Kestrels courts and flirts in downtown Baton Rouge. The pair has possibly nested here for several years in a row.

Green Herons are abundant around the LSU lakes this time of year. In May you could find breeding birds in every stage...setting up nests, sitting on eggs, feeding fledglings, and then, like this group, learning to forage on their own. I love this group of "teenagers" with their punk hair, bickering in the cypress trees...

Mulberries are a favorite treat of many birds around south Louisiana. Seeing this Red-bellied Woodpecker chowing down surprised me though!

What happened to his tail?? What happened to his tail??

Noticed this little guy as I was birding around the LSU lakes last Sunday. Something struck me as odd..and then it hit me --he has no tail! Don't know if something tried to get him or if he is just going through a very efficient (and dangerous!) molt. He is a juvenile Brown Thrasher.

The Downy Woodpeckers finally came down out of the trees to taste the suet -- and now they're back every day! Well, at least when the Grackles leave them something to eat!
