A slow loop around the pond turned up one silent Red-breasted Nuthatch, which appeared to be ferrying pine nuts from the trees just south of the pedestrian underpass from the parking lot, to a big oak over the trail, where it seemed to be stashing them in bark crevices. Just as I was absorbing all that I heard a bright clear chip overhead and observed a crisply-plumaged, adult male Black-throated Gray Warbler in the same oak tree. In the pines directly over the visitor's center at pondside there were three or more Pygmy Nuthatches. There was a minimum of 2 Wilson's Warblers in the willows along the water's edge. Seven Acorn Woodpeckers seemed like a conservative count; they were everywhere, but I never saw more than that at one time. --Garth Harwood _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
