Beautiful
Fall morning walk with 59 degrees and clear skies. Numerous Northern Flickers,
Blue Jays and Red-breasted Nuthatches. At one point we watched 8 RBNU feeding
in one pine tree pecking through the cones, with at least 4 more calling around
us.
Additionally,
we had scope view of an Indigo Bunting and a Blue Grosbeak side by side. A
great comparison of their size and shape of two very similar birds in their
fall plumage.
