Took a few late morning minutes to do a vid of my favorite feathered friends, the nuthatches
Birds come and go here
First season I thought I had a handle on the species and when to expect them
Not so
No steady flocks
Crows by the hundreds at times, making their rhythmic wing flapping whoosh in their mass fly by
Eagles, hawks, all kinds, roosting
The red tails have been present every summer
The roosting bald eagle made for great photo ops
Nutcrackers were here one winter, but just the one
Too many others to list
But these little guys have been steady
They have been here ever season
All year
Maybe not the cutest, as the chickadees seem to have a corner on that and are also present all year
And the juncos have stolen my heart of late, but they’ll prolly be gone by spring
However, my little nuthatches remain
And unafraid
Very personable
One landed on my shoulder last summer
I’ll be feeding them outa my hand one day
Whereas the chickadees are also unafraid, but quite indifferent to whether I come or go...
But my heart will always be with my little nuthatches
The only bird to have the wherewithal to walk down a tree
They make endearing little beeps and an occasional honk, or toot, of which I was able to capture
Here’s their lunchtime vid
