I parked by the pines in the first parking lot to the right as you enter off White. There are picnic tables under these pines. Immediately heard a peck-peck-- and saw a bird on a pine cone. I watched two Red-breasted nuthatches for quite awhile. They were working low under the pines, dropping down practically at my feet to the ground and then back up to a low-hanging pine cone. They never gave their nuthatch call but made soft little throaty sounds (which remind me of my daughter's guinea pig when it is happy.) They talked to each other all the time. I had forgotten how beautiful these birds are-- such striking color contrasts. I could barely tear myself away. Thanks, Kim!
