My mother sent this to me. It's so adorable.
So, my computer isn't really working so I won't be able to post many pictures for a while. I can post pictures from my phone, but they won't be as good as the ones from my camera. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
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 feel so bad for a killdeer that lives near me, she lives right by a bus stop, like, literally right next to the bus stop. She's sitting on four eggs and the people that own the property she's nesting on don't care about her because "there's tons of those birds on the property." I'm just so worried that they're going to get mowed over, or taken by the kids from the bus. It's a dangerous world for a ground-nesting bird.
I’m so glad the birds at my house stay still long enough for me to get good pictures.
