In the wild: Animals edition

@mclaincausey I think hummingbird nests are bound with spider webs, so it's indeed very tidy!

Great post @seawolf !

@seawolf that's so cool!!! I saw my first of the year hummingbird the other day while I was switching out the feeders in our backyard!

[seawolf]

Here's Josie in flight, teaching her baby how it's done. If you look closely you can see the baby sitting on a branch on the left.

@Oaktavia We love the hummingbirds around here. Josie gets territorial sometimes (her nest is safely inside of a bush, but right next to our front door) and she'll protect her nest with a move that we've dubbed "buzzing the tower" where she flies really close to us and we hear the insanely fast flapping (buzzing) of her wings.

@seawolf that's so awesome man. I love those little birds.

[seawolf]

@Oaktavia They're the best!

@Giles house finch my mistake. I just got a visual on one of em. Pretty bad photo because I had to use zoom from an awkward position not to scare her off!

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey Awesome!

Wow, @twin, so cool.

[motojobobo]

@twin excellent job spotting it! Did it wake up/stir when you got so close up for the pic?

[twin]

@motojobobo No it did not wake up.

[twin]

@sabergirl And cute also.

A cute woodpecker in the park close to home

[Oaktavia]

@twin a blonde bat that is super cool. How big was it? Hard to tell from the photo looks not so small.

[twin]

@Cskarev Looks like a Downy Woodpecker.

[twin]

@Oaktavia About 3 inches long and 2 inches wide est. Was fast a sleep when I saw him.

The misses got me a video bird feeder for Christmas. Now that spring is here I set it up. I love birds. Cardinals are terrific.
