Good Afternoon,
About an hour ago, here at my home in the Charlotte Park area of Nashville,
Davidson County, TN, my three fairly resident Eurasian collared doves flew
in for lunch. They perched on some cement blocks just outside my dining
room/deck French doors and began dining. One of the doves perched on the
edge with its tail hanging over. Within moments, one of my chipmunks emerged
from "inside a block," came up under that dove and hits its mark with an on
target "goosing" which sent the dove flying to about six feet away. The
chipmunk took over the block and the food on it, and the dove regained its
composure and came back to eat from the deck floor.
Have had ONE hummingbird, a female on June 1. It fed a long time, flew
off and has not returned.
Four mockingbirds are feeding peanut butter to babies in two nearby nests.
A pair of goldfinches provide a glow of color on the thistle feeder,
usually one at a time, rarely together. Must have a nest. She was here, but
now, he is feeding away. He just left, to be replaced by a male house finch.
Chickadees are bringing their young ones to the feeders for PB, thistle and
seed mix.
Good birding,
Dee Thompson
