Two little feeders hang in a Japanese maple out front, and are hosts to a pair of nut hatches nesting in a bird house on our wisteria arbor. Occasionally a junko will stop by, but nothing bigger can access the feeder.
When working in the garden, it is great therapy to be in the middle of these delicate little birds. Always mindful not to startle them, it makes me slow down and often just stop what I am doing, relax my breathing, and watch them feed.
But then of course we have the monster bird from across the way - Harry the Heron - who likes to sit on our cedar tree in the front and taunt Jake before flying around the back to visit the pond for breakfast. I caught this photo early this morning when I heard Jake barking non-stop.
