White-breasted blue-grey Nuthatches Autumn Festival

In an old Apple tree  where blossoms appear every Spring... 

a pair of Nuthatches raise their Brood in the Autumn. 

.  

They dance and sing until the Sun goes down...  

Sunflower seeds are their favorite food...  

Their Song is from a Poem by Edgar Allen Poe... 

Quote the Raven Nevermore...  

In Honor of the dark and mysterious...

Nuthatches must surely rank amongst my favourite species .. they are the only bird that can walk or run up and down a tree trunk .. mind you, since I am something of a horneythologist (I shall have to stop using that one) .. I am quite partial to Ravens too & of course the dark side with which they are so oft juxtaposed .. sending a seasonal hug and a tickle on the tum with a tawny owl's velvet primary ... Neville

dear Neville.. charming to know that Nuthatches walk up and down tree trunks.. like feathered Acrobats. In “grade school”
We had a large Mulberry tree that I would climb and sit and listen to the dance music that floated a bought from a Studio close by. I would eat my Fill of Mulberries and Hum along to the Music. Thanks for your Visit. gently, Pat

dear Jacob… yes, dark and mysterious describes our World today. I am hoping for younger brilliant Politicians to Win our Mid-term and put a Stop to this Alfred Hitchcock Sequel. Reminds me of The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock… except we have unaccounted for Immigrants who are given everything Free (with our Tax money and draining us of what money we may have had a fairly short time ago. Our Ciubtry belong to our Families, and new Citizens should work hard just as we have done. Who invented Insanity into the Fabric of our Constitution. Even the Birds have Common Sense. gently, Pat

I am hoping against hope that someday politicians will start thinking of us and working together...they aren't even close to that now...and nothing gets done...they are all about their own agendas and the hell with the people.
I am fed up.
yes, like the Birds...and Tippy Hedron getting attacked...she actually suffered wounds doing that scene because there were real birds as well as mechanical ones..Hitchcock was great but a mean director.

A wonderful poem shared dear Pat. The Michigan birds had left and they went south. It means Winter is coming. I like the sounds of the birds in the morning. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry. I did enjoy.

dearest John... lovely to share Bedtime Bird poetry...
Today we had Cardinals at our Feeder, and a Mourning Dove. They had been on a Sabbatical and I was thrilled to have them visit. Nuthatches and Chickadees are two of my favorites. Wishing you Peace and Joy with much Love for the Holidays. tenderly, Pat

I have a bird feeders and the squirrels eat the food now. The flying squirrels of Michigan. I wish you a happy holiday season my dear friend.

Hi John… I try to discourage the Squirrels from eating the sunflower seeds.. by placing unsalted Peanuts in the shell close by to the feeder. It works for the most part until the Peanuts are gone. The Ravens love to fly away with the Peanuts. Hugs, Pat

I watched a squirrel jump four feet. Tree to the bird feeder. The Michigan squirrels are hard-core dear Pat.

Last year.. we had a Swuirrel fall down the Chimney.. and running around in our Dining Room. I called the Sheriff who is in charge of Animal Control. He came to our home with a Net Catcher; however th Swuirrel went back in the Cold fireplace and we placed the Screen tightly in place with two Metal Chairs in front to Lock in the Screen. We never saw the Swuirrel again. We do not use our Fireplace because of so many Tall Old Fir trees close by and we are afraid of a huge Fire. I also called the Sheriff when a Black Falcon had an Injury on our Deck where he fell from the Sky. Too exciting.. but better than a Snake. Pat
