365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Not A "Steller" Hair Day
Day 67: I figured as long as I was standing at the open window trying to capture that elusive little stinker Chickadee, I might as well make use of the time to snap some pictures of the usual crowd. It's been wet, and the poor Steller's Jays all look like drowned rats. "Y'know, I just can't keep my crest nice in this humidity!" Steller-fellers, Spotted Towhees, Juncoes and Song Sparrows make up the bulk of the visitors to my feeders right now, and that Chickadee keeps eluding me. He's bold enough to stay in the contorted filbert while I'm outside, mocking me with his "-dee-dee-dee," but as soon as I raise the camera, he's off like a shot.
