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.

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.
