Hello everyone. I visited the nest this morning.

:vid: VIDEO: https://youtu.be/0SInAFL7-AI

H & M "Sleep In" And Perch & Preen ~ The Pasture Birds Entertain Us 12-03-19

M15 & Harriet appeared to "sleep in" this morning as they tucked their heads between their wings, well deserved as each night has them on high alert for owls & eagles in their territory. Both perched and preened in the trees in the pasture and nearby 'lookout' spots. The pasture birds were amazingly active today. The murmuration of Starlings arriving in the pasture seemed to wake H & M up. Murmuration is the phenomenon that results when numerous starlings flock together & fly together in whirling, ever-changing patterns through the sky. https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonder/wha ... urmuration The Red-bellied Woodpecker and Blue Jay 'met' at the fence, the Red-shouldered Hawk shared the pasture with a Cooper's Hawk and several Great Blue Herons flew over the pasture.
