May 7th - "Take a picture of what you are doing on this day."

On this day I went exploring and found a little bird's nest filled with eggs. It belongs to a Dark Eyed Junco We have many of these little birds here year round. We call them "Tap Taps" because they come to the upstair's window and tap on it and drive the cats crazy. The male will get in fights with his own reflection in our car mirrors if we leave them parked outside the garage for any length of time. It's really funny to watch, but can make a mess on your car.

You can see this happening here

And a little update on the nest: Here

And, of course, a song to go along: Annie Lennox from "Diva" (1992)

Live: Little Bird

Acoustic version live: Little Bird

Roger Bennion, Don Sutherland, Indycaver (Norm), and 12 other people have particularly liked this photo

Oh, what a delightful picture, Karen! The video of that junko pecking at its image is something else! Nice song, too :-))

I don't normally see nests on the ground. The video was hilarious.

You can't really tell from the pic, but it is pretty hidden. I just gently pulled the grass away from it to take the pic.

I once had a woodpecker that had discovered my TV-antenna made more impressive noise than a dead tree....................... when spring had finished he disappeared, silence returning to our house...
A great find, out in the open...

Such a well put together and fascinating entry to 'Sight and Sound'. I should think the Junco in the video must end up with a headache :-) Perfectly matched to "Little Bird" by Annie Lennox. Thanks very much for posting, Karen.
