This is a lovely post from Cindy Knoke, but additionally you should read her ALERT at the end of the post about the WP glitch regarding “unfollows.” Apparently many bloggers are suddenly unfollowing without knowing that it’s happening.
Many people think that animals aren’t capable of doing things just for fun, but these penguins definitely are!
Taking a little time off and enjoying a day of surfing at the beach makes for a happy penguin.

Nuthatches are bright, lovely little birds. They are omnivores, so they eat bugs as well as seeds. I have seen them join in with a group of seed-gobbling sparrows or finches; they seem to get along well with others!
They are amazing little acrobats, too. They will climb down a tree – an unusual ability for most birds.
