  2. After filling the feeders, one accidentally fell over the edge of the step, spilling a considerable amount of sunflower seed. A while later, guess who pokes his head up with his cheeks stuffed.

  3. They are really stuffed! :-) Nice shot of the nuthatch, too -- suitably quirky.

  4. Beautiful photos from your doorstep. It's great to be able to share a space with little beauties like these.

  5. Besides gathering up the spilled seed, he still had work. When I fill feeders, I leave a little pile on the step above his favorite spot to pop out from. All is quickly stored away.

    Katharine, I think I've read that nuthatches are the only local bird able to scale down a tree headfirst. I love the little sounds they make as they creep around, reminds me of humming contentedly.

  6. Judith, they are all so entertaining. I do wish the birds wouldn't bounce off the window screens! I want to remove the screens for winter as they interfere with photo quality when I shoot through the window but it's just that I hate to hear the banging that goes on without a screen.
