The following is an article written by Jeanne Jackson for her blog Mendonoma Sightings where she documents the wildlife, the land, and the waters of our coast.
Pygmy Nuthatches are tiny birds. Just look at this cute one Ron Bolander recently photographed next to a cone!
The group of Pygmy Nuthatches, now numbering seven, continues to spend the night inside a birdhouse at Rick’s and my place in Anchor Bay.
They arrive at dusk and leave at first light…unless they hear Ravens. Then they become silent and wait inside until the danger has passed over them. Seeing them each day reminds me the days are getting shorter.
Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
The fog has disappeared and warm weather is moving in!
