Red-Breasted Nuthatch Encounter

My first encounter with a red-breasted nuthatch was a good one. It was the morning of the Christmas bird count and I was woken up by a red-breasted nuthatch pecking at my window while my cat was meowing at it. I jumped out of bed when I saw it, I was so excited, but I guess it saw my movement through the glass because it looked directly at me just before it flew away. It was a great way to start the morning.

I found a red-shouldered hawk eating a mouse at my local walmart and I got some pretty neat pictures.

Unfortunately I haven't had too much time for birding recently, so I haven't been posting much. I'll be doing the Christmas Bird Count this year, so hopefully I'll get some pictures that will be good enough to post.
