About a year ago I slowly beckoned little birds to come to my hand for seed. This spring nesting season arrived & they took to the trees to nest and feast on insects, (all but three birds that is). Now that nesting season is over my little flock is slowly growing.
I think this sweet little female nuthatch was
born this year, her feathers are all in place, where as some of the
older birds have been molting for a month and look like they need their
feathers combed ;-).
