Hanging under a window ledge on the side of a building

Having managed to hide for the whole of @cambridgewildlife's 2021 Beaver Moon Bioblitz, the Juncos deigned to show up again yesterday.

Sleeping in a tree

Adult with killed bird (undetermined species) in it's talons returning to new nest site.

Adult Male American Kestrel tries to gain access to house sparrow nest behind vent cover.

Perched next to raven nest

tattered wings, long lived female? probably not second generation

Did not ever expect to get these in our dense urban neighborhood.

Only second record in MA. Extremely rare. Bird was IDed confidently several times on eBird (with calls).

Known rarity

Cocoons on young Basswood tree

For the third year in a row, these have showed up in mid August.
