The birds
Filed in BlogIn the space of roughly half an hour, enjoying my morning coffee outside:
A nuthatch or tree creeper bobbled up and down a Christmas tree
Two flycatchers perched on two adjacent fence posts and looked at me
A yellow-bellied bird perched on the wire between said fence posts and looked at me
Another bird, possibly a swallow, perched on the apex of a twig in the tree opposite…and looked at me.
A bird that looked like a size-large blue tit puttered around in the tree, feeding its equally size-large, flying-capable baby.
That is all.

Now I’m wondering. I can’t think of anything that looks much like a blue tit, up there. How big was it, and what color was its breast/belly? Size-large might make it a scrub jay, but you would have seen them here. Blue grosbeaks have a lot more blue on them.

On a whim, I looked up “bluebird.” I didn’t really get a great look, but it could have been a western bluebird, if they are that far up. If I see them again I’ll try to get a picture :)

That’s definitely within western bluebird range. :)
