After ~1 hr of non-productive begging calls and hopping from one snag to another looking for adults, this juvie Barred dropped to sleep as if turning off a light.

I spy a second set of eyes! One chick of three that just hatched recently.

Wish I could speak Waxwing to listen in on this conversation.

Mike, I applaud your strategies you employ for getting shots, thank you for sharing! Waders and decoy, you’re in effect duck hunting, which makes complete sense. I’d seriously looked into waders on a few occasions, but never fully committed, might have to revisit them someday. As for decoys, I made some cardboard Pileated Woodpecker cutouts once, complete with red feather paint detail, and tied them to a tree. Not sure they worked all to well though

What about floating blinds, have you ever tried one of those out?

I had to search for a “tule stool”, and it’s an intriguing bit of kit, it might be something I could put to good use!
