Backyard nature: When a new stream opened, these neighbors moved in

August 21, 2015

More wonderful wildlife photos from David Cohen. He writes:

A goal of the stream daylighting at the intersection of Fessenden Street and Broad Branch Terrace, NW, formally opened last October, was to encourage flora and fauna. I think these photos… show the project is meeting the goal. The bird, according to the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, is a juvenile American robin.

The young robin.
