Nuthatches like nuts!

These little birds are well named. When peanuts are on the menu, they are sure to show up (along with the deer I blipped yesterday).

Today I saw the strangest sight in the park. I heard a rustling sound and saw two does dashing through the trees alongside the path I was on. Behind them was a large buck with a big rack. By itself that wasn't unusual, but the strange part is that the buck was "wearing" something on his antlers....something bright and colorful, a garments of some kind. I thought it was a plaid scarf. Two walkers that came past me thought it was blue pants of some sort. The poor buck was frantic in his efforts to get it off his head, and the does were frantic because he seemed to be chasing them. They flew by so fast, there was no hope of getting a blip. I wandered all over the area, hoping for a second chance, but he had vanished. What a blip that would have been!

I'm blipping early. It's Tuesday and my night to babysit. I will be exhausted when I get home.
