Thank you! They were so much fun to watch this summer. I'm glad I could give them even a little bit of the personality I saw in them. They have big egos for birds so small.

They're so adorable. We have a feeder hanging right outside our window. I can see them at all times of the day - we've had several females and males this year. They're so territorial that it's hilarious to watch them fight over the feeder.

I have two redwoods in the backyard...there is at least one nest in each.

ScribalWriter In reply to ZexyPineCones [2010-08-29 02:38:01 +0000 UTC]

Oh, that's so neat! We have so many trees that it's impossible to find the nests. That would be something to see, though. *is jealous*
