Friday morning I had my sliding door open onto my deck while I was trying
to photograph kinglets and Yellow-rumped Warblers in the snowy golden
leaves. I suddenly realized that a bird had flown past me and into the
house. I turned and a Red-breasted Nuthatch with a seed in its bill was
perched on top of my cat's scratching post!
Those of you who may know my cat know this wasn't quite as dangerous as it
sounds, but even she came running over. The bird looked around as if
thinking of tucking the seed into the post, and then flew out the door again.
A few weeks ago a Red-breasted Nuthatch hid a seed in my scope tripod when
I left it out on the porch. Nice spots, yes, but I can't imagine how the
nuthatch planned on getting them back. ;^)
