So sorry for your loss. It's not the species of the departed one that matters, it's the quality of the love we give them. I always enjoyed the pictures of Scratch at falcon-watching get-togethers, and I know she'll be missed.

When we lived in Connecticut there was a large flock of mallards that came to our back yard to be fed. Every year it seemed that there was a bachelor of another species that attached himself to the flock. The last two years it was a Wood Drake, who developed a positively possessive attitude toward one particular mallard duck. He would not let any other males near her, and would fly at them, pecking and uttering his sharp, rather soprano quack. She never strayed, and I often saw them grooming each other. Strange bedfellows, indeed!

I'll confirm Carolina wren. They like to perch somewhere to survey the territiry before they fly to the feeder. Usually it's the quoins on the corner of my house (brick) where they can cling sideways. The colors are distinctive: breast is buff veering toward yellow, back is the burnt siena from your box of Crayolas. We had a nest one year, in a wicker plant holder on the patio wall, in which they raised two clutches of babies. It was at a height just about my eye level.
