One of the male sparrows is busy gathering some cat hair for the nest. We save our cat's fur all winter long from her daily brushing. In the spring when all the sparrows claim the birdhouses, we begin to put out little clumps on our Hemlock tree.
It only takes a few minutes and the birds compete for the fur. This has become a seasonal ritual each time they spruce up their nests for a new batch of babies. They watch as we put the fur on the branches and swoop in to claim their portion.
This week we put out our first round of cat fur and they have already cleaned off the tree. Soon the females will lay their eggs and we will get to enjoy watching them feed the babies.
Goodbye winter and hello to spring!
Thank you 
Until next time, this is Sunscape
