Are rose breasted nuthatches typically bold? Today, I stood with my head
about three feet from, and level with, my hanging sunflower seed feeder
and a rbn had no problem landing next to me many times. (Pretty exciting
viewpoint since yesterday was my first day to i.d. it.) When I testingly
took one itty bitty step closer, though, it proved to be one step too far.
Other excitement for me today, (and I hope this is not considered 'feral
cat' taboo topic), was rescuing what looked to me like a fledgling
mourning dove, directly out of the mouth of my cat. Then out of the mouth
of my dog that jumped into the fray. Then out of the mouth of the cat,
again! We were all bumbling idiots. After recuperating in safety for
about an hour, the bird flew away. Amazing, I think.
