We Are So Honored

Too much in a hurry to sit still for a picture, our new
exterior house cleaner:  Ruby Crowned Kinglet.
Just a tiny fleck of his crown is visible.


Everyone is on board.  The house, in its sprucing up, has apparently put out a call to the Universe.

Working over the trellis
Even the birds, little tiny ones at that, have shown up to make their contributions.



Under the eaves, over the eaves--
we received a full inspection
Ready to have another go at the dining room window frame.












I noticed him first gleaning bugs from under the eaves at the back porch. Shortly he was back checking around each of the windows.










This sweet, tiny Ruby Crowned Kinglet has become the latest member of the crew to make sure we look sharp on the outside (since I've been paying attention to the interior only of late.)










When he checks out the window frame, his little crown flashes a huge, brilliant orange/red flare.  And because of this little guy's attention to the outside, I took a look at it myself.  "Wash the exterior walls" will find its way to Things I get to do today (but not until several tomorrows into the future.)  At the present, I really appreciate his help!

    1. His little crown was flaming orange in several photos that were too blurred to publish. Magnificent little bird, indeed.

  2. Awesome! Wonder if this is the same little guy who's been visiting us for the past few years ... haven't seen him yet this winter, so glad he's visiting you! What a sweetie!
