As it be comes warmer, behaviour changes, and so does what is around, or what now chooses to show it's self.
The Starlings have come back to the yard. I'm hoping this year they may finally use the nest box, but no sign of that so far.

Male California Quail are calling again. So far I have never seen females on ours and the neighboring properties. So how did they get here? Are there any females, or are they better than normal at hiding? I hope they came breed as they add well wanted variety! Bananason, the last offspring of old Two Bananas, is hanging around. It is rather interesting the way the "family" is set up. Two Bananas and Bananason make sure not to be found by No Bananas |
The other day after visiting the Wairau river, we got home to a Chaffinch that had hit a window. He was very soft and beautiful, but he could not fly. Sadly he died.
