The Tom-Cat Report

I have nothing to show on the stitching front, but Tom-Cat, birder extraordinaire, is more than pleased to share some of the photos he's taken lately of birds.  

Tom-Cat calls this "Mourning Doves Up High"

He has titled this "Mourning Doves Down Low - Catch-able"

This is called "Red Breasted Sapsucker Up So High You Get a Crick in Your Neck".

"Oregon Junco Looking Straight Ahead"

"Oregon Junco Looking to the Right" 

"Steller's Jay on Alert About Ready to Scream His Head Off"
Tom-Cat feels that Steller's Jays are truly annoying birds.  They yell and scream and raise a ruckus, and are very aggressive - feeding at the bird feeders and on the ground.  Despite all that, Tom-Cat has never been able to snag one of these birds.

"McChickadee Nugget"
While these might be tasty, bite-sized cat treats, Chickadees are canny little birds.  They flit to the feeder, grab a sunflower seed, and flit back to the thicket to consume the seed.  As they are not ground-feeders, they are next to impossible to catch. 

 "Sparrow" 
Sometimes simple titles are best.

Tomorrow the Cats of Clos du Bois will share some of their favorite "Critter Photos."

Tom Cat seems to be sitting there so serene and regal, like he's above trying to chase and catch the birds!
