Yesterdays “bonus” hiking day was such a success that we
decided to do it again, and all three campers that stayed over attended. It is really a slow time of year with a lot
of the migrants leaving or left, so each bird means a lot. Bill Finke pointed
out this little bird, a Pygmy Nuthatch, which is a tiny bird of only 4 ¼ inches
from the tip of its bill to the tip of its tail. This nuthatch and one other
were on an old snag with a lot of cavity holes. What I have since read about Pygmy Nuthatches
and their territorial and communal living means that I will be checking this site
out again,-- like tomorrow.
