Not to be funny b/c it is not funny, but if you like rabbit, the tame does taste much like white meat chicken. Back when my girls were young Rod knew a farmer who grew tame rabbits to sell for food & he bought enough for supper one night, so I know.

what is this bird. He's so fast. His beak is long and pointy but he won't turn his face toward me. ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/24516842/408844358.jpg) The blue birds are going to mate and I'll have babies ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/24516842/408844335.jpg)

could the blue colored bird be a fly-catcher of some kind, or poissibley somw kind of woodpecker ? I saw a blue one in a book I have Although I must say, I am not really too good at birds, sad to say...
The tree appears to be in bud, don't you think ?....watch & see what it develops to

That IS a nuthatch. Thanks. But you know what, I've seen a picture of a woodpecker that is similar.
Our trees are in bud. The problem is that this tree is around a bunch of other trees that look the same when in bloom but they don't put out red buds likes this. Strange.

Yes. They stay here pretty much all year. We usually don't see a lot of them until April though. This is the strangest year.
