Flicker May 22, 2025 by wordsfromanneli 30 Comments From up here in the walnut tree, I keep you in my sight, I’m pretty sure you won’t hurt me, But then again, you might. The sun is warming in the spring, But if it gets too hot, The leafy tree is just the thing, For all the shade it’s got.

We have quite a few of them here. I guess birds have their territories they stay in.

Maybe it’s a North American species.

Different birds and animals live in different areas. That’s one thing that is great about blogging. We get to see what’s happening in other places.
