This year it seemed like we had
a taste of Spring in February.
Ever since it seems like it
can't decide whether it wants to be
chilly or rain.
The Bluebirds have been here for awhile.
They haven't made their nests,
as far as I know,
in either of our boxes.
I have noticed at the feeder,
while the female comes, she eats, but
the male seems to be taking worms with him.
That could mean
he has a family to feed.
A Red-breasted Nuthatch
was at the feeder a day ago.
The last time I saw one of them
was in 2007 in the Fall of the year.
Maybe just migrating through.
This bird is smaller than the
Nuthatch that we see all the time.
When I first noticed it,
it was frozen in place, like the picture below.
There apparently was a Hawk nearby.
The little Nuthatch and a small Downy Woodpecker,
who were both at the feeder at the time,
did not move for about five minutes.
There was also another
Downy Woodpecker that stopped by,
who looked a little out of the ordinary.
She was sporting a pretty, fluffy hairstyle.
Maybe she just took a bath.
Pretty Girl!

Each bird has it's own beauty. I always enjoy seeing the Bluebirds,whether in real life or in pictures. The Red-breasted Nuthatches are regulars on my yard and I love them.Enjoy those birds and keep on sharing pictures.
Hello, Ms. Janice! You are blessed to be surrounded by those species that make the environment prettier! It is also amazing that you are familiar with all their names! I hope you are doing fine. God bless! :)
