Surprises Comes In All Sizes
It was overcast and windy today, but when I saw all the Goldfinch activity at these two feeders, I just had to grab my camera.
Granted a few Goldfinches flew off when I returned to the window but most of them stayed. They flew back and forth, coming and going like crazy. I took dozes of photos, anxious to see what the highest count would be.
So, later when looking at the photos the highest total between the two feeders was 10. That was OK, but considering I got 10 on just the thistle sock alone at one time, todays 'high' count didn't impress me. BUT when looking at several of the shots I noticed something different. Finally, on one of them did the mystery bird make itself known - a Brown headed Nuthatch! On the thistle sock, which I've never seen them do before.
