Yes, the day's drawing to an end but it started on a lovely note (no pun intended) with my first ever spying of a red-breasted nuthatch in my yard. He was under the birdfeeder, balanced on a peony stalk, nibbling on seeds trapped in the leaves that other birds had missed. I love his bandit mask!
We too love to feed and watch birds in our yard. We get especially excited when an unusual bird shows up. Some of the special guests that have graced us with their presence have been the yellow-shafted flicker, the rose-breasted grosbeak, and the downy woodpecker. Happy bird-watching :0)
