In late July or early August depending on the year, it becomes harder and harder to find the fledglings on a regular basis.  By this time of year they’re spread out and exploring a wider and wider area.

So, on Sunday, I was happy to find a reliable old timer, Pale Male sitting in a favorite spot, while an American Robin protested.  He stayed in the same tree for the longest time before moving slightly to a calmer location near the Azalea Pond.
