Things were pretty quiet in Boston Hollow today, but I pulled over in a
turn-out and saw a small bird land on a great big white pine. I expected to
see an Brown Creeper, but it was a RED-BREASTED -NUTHATCH! turned out
there were 2 of them, both fledgling/juveniles, all fluffly and blotchy. I
have been looking for them there all year and never saw or heard one, and
still haven't seen an adult, but obviously they are there. Birds seemed to be
on their own, but couldn't have been for long.

My list is still growing for BH.

"Think, every morning when the sun peeps through
The dim, leaf-latticed windows of the grove,
How jubilant the happy birds renew
Their old, melodious madrigals of love!"
H.W. Longfellow
