365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Dee-Dee Documentation
Day 70: It's still not the "field guide" shot I want, but Solstice brought an opportunity to capture several views of my pesky little 'dee-dee friend. As far as I can tell, only one is coming to the feeder, dashing in to grab a few seeds and then returning to the deep interior of the contorted filbert to eat them. That said, the bird is becoming less leery of me and of the light (what pitiful light there is) glinting off the camera lens. It often remains hidden in the filbert, chattering "Chick-a-dee-dee-dee!" at me while I'm in the yard. If I'm patient, I can usually spot it among the branches, but it seldom perches in the open. I was lucky to get this shot!
