Thanks Kermit. I always thought the smaller was a Coopers. It must be a Sharp Shinned.
They’re way-cool birds. And they should be called sharp-taloned. (Actually all have sharp talons.)Thanks Kermit. I always thought the smaller was a Coopers. It must be a Sharp Shinned.
Yup. My book refers to them as Common Bushtit. The link below just call them Bushtit. A flock of ten to twenty will show up at our feeder, argue over eating pecking order, then fly off.Did you spell that right?
