The young birds have found a haven in the suet and seed blocks we have just outside the kitchen window. They are protected by the japanese maple, and their parents have been bringing them here to practice feeding. Sometimes there will be 3 or even 4 different species waiting in the tree or sharing the feeders.
The nuthatches were the first, and have made themselves very much at home. Yesterday afternoon one of them decided to move right in, and tried to roost there for the night. However, 3 downy woodpeckers were not ready to turn in yet and disturbed his slumber so he found another spot.
