Nuttall's Woodpecker derp Temescal Canyon Los Angeles 036
W9 and I hike into Temescal Canyon from Sunset Boulevard. Dappled sunlight filters through the trees. We hear bird calls we can't readily identify and our excitement builds.... the game is afoot.
Then a cute young Nuttall's lands fairly close and proceeds to groom himself in full derp.
"California's oak woodlands are the place to look for Nuttall's Woodpeckers. If you find an oak tree in California, even in suburban areas, there's a chance that a Nuttall's Woodpecker will be around. These small woodpeckers don't just forage on trunks and branches, they also forage on tiny stems in willows and alders where they might look more like a sparrow messing around in a shrub than a woodpecker. You'll probably hear the dry rattle before you see a Nuttall's Woodpecker, which will help you pinpoint its location. When they rattle they usually stay put, giving you time to find them." allaboutboids yeah, rite.
