This nuthatch nearly smacked me in the face as it dove for the feeder. An alarmed chirp and It retreated to a nearby tree from which it berated me and Sora the Cat for our intrusion onto the balcony .
More wildlife from last year’s Japan trip that I’ve never gotten around to posting before. There were lots of these raptors all over the island of Shikoku. Thinking Japanese Black Kite?
The other day I posted something about taking lots of photos of herons . Well, here’s a bunch of photos from Ritsurin Park in Takamatsu, Japan, from our trip last year.
Spending tons of time on the computer in these Covid days, and discovering photos I barely remember looking at, much less having culled and edited!
Sora and I just had a staredown at the front door with a squirrel on the fence. That might be the squirrel’s tail way off disappearing behind the cherry tree .
Sora is strictly an indoor cat, to protect birds and wee beasts, and to protect her too. . . But she loves looking out screened windows and taking the air at the door.
