Camera Critters, A stand off

This morning there was more than usual activity at our apple tree with this little chickadee and it's nest. What was really wonderful is it seemed as if it was posing for the camera, just letting me take pictures.
Of course I know it was just guarding it's nest. (The hole in the tree)

So these are my picture(s) of the day for this blog and I am also playing Camera Critters with these.

My little chickadee's

My little chickadee. He's so cute. Living in my apple tree, busily building a nest in the hole you can see the one looking out of.
Anyone that reads this blogknows by now how much I love all feathered friends.

 

  

Can you see him?

Wow today was/is a beautiful. Actually sat out in the sun, and not to get warm but to actually get some color on my face and arms. For me in my little world, is about as close to heaven as it comes.
Walking around the pond I found "my" geese hiding place. I was rather impressed. I never could get to that part of the pond until today, and although I still was wearing my "mountain boots" and got them a little wet I could not care any less!

 

  

  

 And something else happened today.I think I saw (and took this picture of) a hummingbirds nest. I have always searched for one, only knowing they are quite small, I was shocked to see this right above my head when I was taking the pictures of "my geese"

So I sure would love it if a reader who may pass by here could tell me whether or not that is what kind of nest this is. I sure would appreciate it!

Thanks!!!
