The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place to note any observations you have made of the world around you. Snails, fish, insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers. All are worthy additions to the bucket. Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment. Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located.

There were a trio of kinglets flitting about. First at the pine, then all over the pear tree. This is only the second time seeing these tiny birds - and chance had it, with camera in hand. Most likely I've been missing them because they are so small and move so quickly, barely taking time, it seems, to rest.
