Nest building
Posted: Fri May 20, 2016 2:47 pm
I've been setting out plants out in front garden this morning. I'm not making much headway since it seems to take me longer and longer to get down on the ground - and then get back up. I'm sure I amuse the neighbors.
I walked under the martins' pole and felt eyes staring at me. A large ASY male was sitting on his porch with his mouth stuffed to overflowing with several pieces of dried stalks. I wish I could have gotten a photo; he looked silly.
He looked at me, turned around, and stuffed them in the gourd. When he came back out he shook out his feathers, gave me a 'what are you looking at' glare, and continued to preen.
