Nuts and more nuts

We're real birds!  The Blondies in a rare moment of repose:It's funny; all the birds that grew up here, and then some,  are into perching.  They love the tangled alder brush. There's the baby guineas.  Nice to get a sighting.  All mixed up in the flock of young adults.Time to groom like everyone else! Surprise!  The second, smaller walnut tree is bearing.  They come later, and they are a different kind of walnut.  This kind is nice.  The husks are round and super easy to shuck off the shell (on the right), and the nut is round, exactly like ye old familiar walnut.On the left, the pear shaped walnuts (from the big tree) have flat, pointy shells, and stubborn husks.I'm starting to get a respectable haul, for the first walnut harvest ever.  Nice.
