This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

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!
