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.

Making sure nothing is ready to pounce.

Go!
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.

I see four beaks but there could well be one or two more.

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.

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.
