a new neighbor - a bird

-


 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.

  2. The 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.
