Smokey was staring down at me from the carport roof when I went outside to check for junk mail a few days ago. He looked rather agitated, and I figured he was loving his new companion, but perhaps not so in love with the lack of seed at his new home. So, I threw down some seeds especially for him. He flew down and ate, ate, ate, and ate some more! After stuffing, resting for less than a minute, and stuffing again, he left his brothers and flew back to his new wife. I suppose she must be prEGGnant, and nest-sitting, as she did not accompany him and he seemed impatient and rushed.
Smokey has come back home to us daily ever since, for an hour or so each morning. This morning he arrived bright and early at 5-30am to grab the best of the breakfast seeds!
We have had a lot of baby birds visiting our yard recently, and I have some good photos to share with you in my next post of a baby black-faced cuckoo-shrike. (I just have to load them onto my computer first!)
