Day 17.266: Just a nest

No birding walk today, so all I have is a photo of a rather neat nest in the trees by my workplace. There were house finches in those trees today eating the berries but I don’t know who made this nest. Whoever made it, I probably walked within a few feet of it several times during nesting season without realizing it was there.

Day 17.264: More visitors

Goldfinches in patchy early-autumn plumage

Bluebirds - sometimes bold enough to come to the deck railing

Oops - dipped the tail in the water

If you look closely you can see the droplets shake off just after takeoff

Day 17.263: Feeder drama

The bluebirds have been coming to the feeders in large numbers for the last few days. When the arrive it's all-action for a while, and then just as suddenly they all seem to depart for somewhere else.
