I’d never seen one before! They supposedly nest in this area, and there’s been a male (no way to tell if its the same one though I think so) back to the feeders several times yesterday and this morning, so I’m hoping that means that he’s looking to nest here. I’ve not spotted a female yet, but from the pictures online she’d look like a large sparrow so I might have just missed her…..
And a gratuitous BlueJay, just because:
Lovely! Some years we have them, some years not. They are so beautiful.
They are! I was so excited to see him.
We usually have them here. The female looks nothing like the male, which makes it easy to overlook her until you know they are in the area.
Yah, I saw that when I looked them up, so I’ve been watching all the sparrow types closely, still haven’t seen her, but he’s definetly hanging around…
