That is awesome and how great to get those images. Thanks for sharing it Pelle!
Thanks Pelle!
You must spend hours combing the internet to come up with some of the fascinating things you share with us! ^_^
What a nice story to end my weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Birdie, No searching on my part. I belong to a Bird Listserv for my state so you receive e mails of people stating what birds they have seen and where. This was just a little off topic post that was very nice.
Glad everyone likes it. Resin have you seen it?
Just seen it now, been out most of the day today. Amazing!

Great story!
Thanks for sharing this one. It made my day. The little Carolina wren nesting in my workshop chased an eighty pound dog away from her nest. Went so far as to pursue the dog into the house. The dog refused to come out from under my desk until my friend was able to coax Mamma out of the house. The dog will not come near the workshop now. I was impressed by that.
But, this story is truly amazing!
