White-breasted Nuthatch

I see these birds far more often at the front of the house, than the back.

But this guy found some suet and was active at the back of the house.

Wednesday's Walk

It's too hot and too smokey to walk today.

So here's what I can see from the back porch.

A couple of turkey vultures circling.

 

Hazel brush

Tansy Ragwort 

Pretty, but toxic to cattle

A juvenile towhee

Green berries on a Hawthorne

Douglas fir green cones dripping with sap

Back indoors now where it is cooler.
