A pair of Catbirds sitting on the shepherdshook was a welcome sight this morning. They disappeared into the quince shrub where they nested last year. Kind of reminds me of living above the store. Food and birdbaths with fresh water are close by.
Lots of Bluejays in the yard. At one point, nine were crowded on the food tray. They appear in large numbers every year at this time.
A Cooper's or Sharpie zoomed in at one point and landed in the walnut tree. All I could see was yellow feet and part of a barred tail.
Several times today I saw the Nuthatch hacking away at the remnants of that dead mouse that has been out there a couple of days. That's something I haven't seen before. Another reminder how little is wasted in nature.
