Weekend :: Birds

Our weekend in birds went a little something like this:

• Soft clucking & scratching = our flock of five hens surverying their free-range surroundings
• Hurried feet skittering across the gravel drive = visiting quail in a hurry to go here and there
• Nesting mamas have returned to the eucalyptus trees = the egrets are back.  Oh, my!
• Straw stealing birds invade the chicken run = nuthatches hard at work
• Little splashes of yellow dot the barbed wire just outside our kitchen window = finches taking a fiver
• Sunset chorus of gobbling = turkeys saying goodnight as they nest in the trees in the llama pasture next to our home
• Majestic posturing on a southern fence post = Bald Eagle siting on neighboring lamb ranch
