The Chipping Sparrows have taken over their tiny nest in the dogwood tree. They've added some more material to the unused nest from last year. They are nearly impossible to see. I can sometimes see activity from just the right spot in my living room with binoculars but can't get a picture as there are screens on my windows. Most of the spots in the yard are just not the right angle. I thought that one of the above pictures showed a hint of rusty red cap, but with my bleary morning eyes I can't tell.
This morning there was a bit of drama as a few American Goldfinch chose to land in the tree. Both parents came flying. My SD card was not in my camera!!
There has been a great deal of logging in and around my neighborhood lately as landowners are looking for extra income and wood prices are high. Knowing all the second round nesting that happens, I'm a bit undone as I hear the loggers at work. I take comfort in knowing "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me." Every day is a choice to trust in His unfailing love.
I don't know why the people who hire loggers don't think about the time of year. Tom doesn't even mow the fields until nesting season is over, and out loggers came at the end of summer. I can't bear to think about your situation, either. My heart is very soft when it comes to animals and birds.
