Nuthatches are continuing to build a nest in a hollow in a walnut tree.

The Nuthatches are gathering bark, twigs, and fluff for a nest.

This pair of mourning doves sat on the swingset for over an hour.

Male downy woodpecker
The female downy woodpecker would allow me to get fairly close to take her picture, but this male would fly off if I was in the backyard.
