Missy was back this morning having a feeding frenzy of peanuts and cashews. Right on her heels....hey, wait a minute....birds don't have heels...uh...do they?
ANYWAY, a few minutes later a couple of nut hatches arrived. The downy woodpeckers and nut hatches seem to travel together around here. These nut hatches are the larger variety, with brownish feathers and whiter chests compared to the smaller steel blues with copper coloured breasts. They are characterized by a high energy level and perky demeanor. They love to swing on the nut feeders and peer into the kitchen. When we go outside, only a few feet from them, they rarely fly away. Instead they peer at us curiously and then go about their business.
It is going to be fun to watch the interaction between them and the larger thrashers and blue jays.
