Outside our back window is a bird house I put moved to this location in hopes of attracting a blue bird. This fellow and his mate instead moved in. I have watched them come and go and a day or so ago I saw one of the pair go into the bird house and thinking, I will get a photo when it comes back out as they normally spend a lot of time on the tree and walking around the bird house.
Walking back down the tree
Check out the beak. I think he is holding a tick or spider.
Delivering the morsel. and how do I know it is delivery.
Ta Da ! check out the portal. Mama bird is inside
I did not know I got the above photo until I was looking at them on the computer.
And now quiz time. Just what kind of bird is this since it is not a blue bird? First to get the correct answer wins a prize. Not the 640 million but a prize.
no idea what kind of bird it is but i really like the pictures, especially the one with the mama and the daddy bird :)
ReplyDeletea nuthatch!
ReplyDeleteThe white-brested nuthatch - and great pictures! What fun to find momma bird when you looked at it on your computer. I put up bluebird houses last year and they were here the next morning and building away and then ... gone. I think they were just building a spec-nest because it was nuthatch-occupied soon after. No bluebird this year, sad to say; guess they prefer the open cemetery and middle school grounds.
