[cobirds] Pygmy Nuthatch

Hi all, I had a surprise today with the arrival of 2, Pygmy Nuthatches, in my yard. They came in with the White-breasted, and Red-breasted Nuthatches. I had up to 5 Pygmy Nuthatches about 10 years ago, show up in my yard in the winter. This was a first show for them since that latter time.

[cobirds] Re: Snowy Owl, El Paso

Does anyone have photos of the Snowy Owl perched on the roof on Prairie Vista Lane? He was on my roof for a while before moving to the stove pipe on the blue house to east of our house. I'd sure like to have a few shots of him especially given how rare a sighting this is. Thanks in advance. Chuck
