You all know I am a very dedicated volunteer blue bird trail monitor. I check the nest boxes of a nearby trail once a week, counting occupants, looking for blue eggs and evicting sparrows with a good scolding. I wear my little red uniform for the task so everyone knows who I am. And I bring my Person with me because of her adept thumbs.
But as with most ventures, there are always surprises. Today there was a surprise for me when I saw a chickadee incubating her eggs in one of the blue bird boxes and she was surprised to see me seeing her. She has a nest made of moss and lichens and soft things and she is so brave she didn't fly away.
I think I am sort of like a chickadee myself, on the small side, dapperly designed and with a stout heart. In fact I might just change my name to Finnadee!

Finn--this photo is fantastic, did Your Person take it
on your blue bird trail? I hadn't realized that chickadees would hold still for a photo shoot. Bet you
were bracing Your Person up while she pressed the button, si?
Cheers,
Veecee
