The birds here have been very busy at the feeders before it starts to rain yet again. I think love must be in the air today. I just saw both chickadees and white-breasted nuthatches courtship feeding within minutes of each other. The cardinals do it a lot, but I had never seen chickadees or nuthatches do it until now. It was sure cute. I didn't get any pictures of it unfortunately.

I got a pic of one of the nuthatches a couple of days ago. It must have sensed a predator or something because it froze like this for several minutes.

The goofy goldfinches decided the numerous mud puddles from all the rain were better than my birdbaths. I think the 40s is a little chilly for a dip, but they didn't seem to mind.

I did see a ruby-crowned kinglet and some white-throated sparrows out and about in between the rains too.
