Tedderhaven in April

We have a family of black-crested titmice in the nestbox in front of the cabin. Suzy has been monitoring; they look slightly less disturbing today than they did Monday, but I still find them a little difficult to look at. The parents are spending a lot of time going back and forth–it’s a lot of work feeding all those gaping little beaks.

Bird taking out trash — Once in a while they clean up the nest, with waste neatly packaged in a little sac. I’m not really sure how this works.

Bird flying right at camera — They fly out so fast that the camera just doesn’t have time to focus.

baby birds in nestbox — I see four beaks but there could well be one or two more.

Decorative bird figure on stump — Suzy has a good touch with the yard. I’m sure the titmice settled in this box because of the welcoming orange egret outside their door.

Nigel, Suzy, and Jon at the Gorge Trail — We took visiting Nigel to the Gorge Trail under overcast and drizzly skies; it was beautiful. Suzy spotted a pair of Green Herons in one of the ponds.
