A Great Horned Owl high up in the trees from earlier this year. He was easy to miss; I wonder how many times I've walked past owls without noticing them (I imagine quite a few)🦉

These two Ruby-throated Hummingbird nestlings barely fit in the nest. They have been quite active; preening, playing, and testing out their long tongues. Mama Hummingbird has been stopping by to feed them while also building another nest to raise more hummingbirds.

The Iberian grey shrike (Lanius meridionalis) is a member of the shrike family. It is closely related to the great grey shrike, Lanius excubitor, and its plumage is generally similar to the great grey shrike apart from the differences noted below. The Iberian was previously considered conspecific with the great grey; where they co-occur, they do not interbreed and are separated by choice of habitat.

A male Red-bellied Woodpecker (left) feeding one of his young ones. The red on the young one's noggin is starting to come in. If I had to guess, this one is a male as it looks like some red feathers between the eyes are coming in. Females will have grey on the top of their heads

A pair of White-tailed Deer fawns race across a hay field. Even though these young deer are less than two-months-old they sprint with the ease, grace, and speed of an adult.

It's always a highlight of my day when I get to see a Least Bittern. These birds are uncommon here and hard to find in the wetlands. This male is making a short flight, flying low over the lily pads and knocking down the morning dew from a cattail.

Stop off in Cumbria started well when eventually found one Northern Brown Argus at Latterbarrow. Signs weren’t good with no reports of sightings but after 2 hrs I struck lucky. Puzzled by missing figure of 8 spot on underwing but the open wing image looks conclusive. 57/59😀

This acrobatic young Raccoon posed nicely as it descended a tree. I didn’t see its mother, but I assume she was somewhere nearby.

1/2 A bit of slow-mo of yesterday's Least Sand for educational purposes. Sharp work by finder @BirdingHawkeye to get photos when it initially flew over him giving a 3 note trill, an important piece of the jigsaw. A tiny dumpy peep with not too obvious dull green yellow legs.
