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-deelightful!
Day 358: These are not all photos of the same individual bird. It might be hard to tell chickadees apart from one another, but there was strong competition for that handful of seed, one landing on my fingers in a flutter of feathers which knocked another one off my palm and into flight. I had accidentally let the feeders go almost empty (the little critters are gobbling as much as two full large coffee cans every day!), so I made a personal offer before loading it up again. They practically swarmed me as the hummingbirds do when I'm trying to replace their sugar-nectar. If there is one good thing to say about 2020, it's that I've made new friends...LOTS of new friends!
