Hello Tweeters,
I was stunned this morning, my eyes was glued to the window, watching two
little birds in the wild currant bush. One bird i know the rufous
hummingbird, but what was the other smal bird flittering around with a
bright red coloured head?Looking down from the patio could not see all the
bird, but after a while i knew it was the little Ruby-crowned Kinglet,
flashing his bright red crown to the fullest few.Ihave this birds all the
time on my suet feeder, but this little bird had me fooled for a moment.
Also seeing it in a bush what got bright red flowers as the wild currant
got me fooled. It was galore bird in my yard.The 8 Varied Thrushes what are
singing creating a concert with all the Chicadee,s calling for there mate,
the Songsparrows singing and the woodpeckers pecking and a flock of Pine
