well, winter can't be too far away when the winter birds arrive and it appears that red-breasted nuthatches have arrived in town marking the waning days of warm weather ( although they do migrate south earlier than many species ). i suspect we'll see many more in the coming weeks.
our bird guide notes that the birds visit feeders, quickly grab a single seed and fly off to crack it open. yup, that's about right. the behavior makes them hard to photograph as they don't hang around for long.
after a somewhat slow summer odin's birdfeeder is bustling with activity with purple and yellow finches, house sparrows, blue jays and now nuthatches visiting throughout the day.
“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”
the complete tales & poems of winnie the poohthis site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
