If I may answer for James and defend his love of birds, a coal tit is a sweet little bird. What they look like depends on whether you are talking about the Irish Coal Tit or the Continental Coal Tit. You can find out all about him here. They are such cute little things!

I love the birds too James. I can't wait for the snow to go so I can get to my feeders and start feeding them again. It also entertains the cats!! lol 

Something else that feels good is living pain free. Looking forward to that day!!

similar to a blue tit but black instead of blue,last year i put two decent size boxes up 20yds apart  there were two clutches in each box and i reck there must have been around 35 chicks in 4 clutches.

the laughable part is that the wife was shouting me to go and retrieve the " yunks " that had climbed out the box-i will be putting the boxes back up this weekend.

It makes me feel good to know where and when I am headed. I feel like I have more control of my life then. Helps me to prepare in my head what needs to be done for a smooth transition.
