A bird keeps tapping on the glass of my back door. At first, I thought that it did not know that there was glass there so I placed window clings on the panes. Not only did that fail to help, but the bird was perching on the wooden dividers and deliberately tapping with its beak. Was it telling me to come out and fill the feeders? That’s possible! I’ve seen birds peer in the windows before when the feeders were empty, although typically they just sit on the railing and stare at the door, as if watching for me to appear with some food. Squirrel sometimes do this too.
The bird was a Carolina wren. They are pretty easy to identify. This one is perched on the feeder cam.
I have a few horse pictures to show you. I took these a few months ago and then didn’t get around to sharing them. I know my fellow photobloggers will understand that sometimes we go out of our way to get pictures for the blog. In this case, I spotted the horses from the car and had to turn around and find a place to pull off so that I could take pictures.
I imagine Charlie’s fans want to know how he’s doing. He’s fine! He had a decent week in spite of me having knee problems. We took our daily walks, but without any extra steps. We went to the dog park in Strasburg twice. I chose that one because it’s not far from the parking lot so I don’t have to limp very far. Yesterday we went to see his friend Sadie and they played in her house. He also spent two afternoons in daycare.
I used software to imagine an ideal girlfriend for him.
The horse is looking so relaxed in the environment

ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Yes, We do understand about going out of one's way to get photos for one's blog.
ReplyDeleteCarolina Wren has expanded its range into Southern Ontario in recent years, but I have yet to see one in my yard, yet alone at the feeders. Very handsome little bird.
ReplyDeleteOf course prince charming Charlie will have a princess for a girl friend! Loved the wren story, pecking to get your attention, or maybe something to do with spring-time.
ReplyDelete...the horses are gorgeous.
ReplyDeletePretty girlfriend for Charlie, and nice birdie photos!
