Your Turn or Mine?

Nope, it is definitely not a friendly scene, rather, they seemed to be disputing claims to who was next at the feeder. In short order the dark, female bird moved behind the feeder, leaving nothing but her derriere exposed to the cardinal. It was too much, the cardinal turned and flew away before the restContinue reading “Your Turn or Mine?”

However, upon the hawks departure, a tufted titmouse promptly plopped onto the adjacent feeder and wrens startedContinue reading “Big Bird Bath”
