oh birdie-bird

Yesterday started out on a really sad note.  One of the house finches who has taken to our trees was  mortally injured when he ran into our big glass window.  I will spare you the details, but I know that's what occurred.  He was such a beauty with a very deep-rose colored breast.  I'm sure all the girl birds were swooning over his color and hoping he'd pick them to mate.

Early last summer we had a  pair of house finches  who built their nest in one of the arborvitaes.  I understand that these birds can come back every year to nest in the same spot.  I am hopeful that he is not "the one" who has lived here before.   Very sad.
