The Nuthatch<\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday afternoon I had the coolest experience in the garden. \u00a0I’d just moved the sprinkler from one section of the garden to another and 3-4 little grey\/blue\/white wren-like birds began landing on branches in front of me and darting from branch to branch and to the waterpot, over and over. \u00a0They took drinks and preened right in font of me, I could have reached and touched them. \u00a0I was walking when they began doing it, so I stood still to see how long they would stay. \u00a0 It was such a cool moment! \u00a0I love my NOW. \u00a0Even now. \u00a0And now, too. \u00a0I wonder what the birds were, does anyone know? \u00a0They were definitely a blue\/grey\/white, not brown, and otherwise looked like wrens. My bird book only shows brown wrens. They are thumb sized (including wings and head) and they kind of hover but are not hummingbirds. \u00a0On Facebook, Rhonda Gaylord<\/a> suggested it might be the blue-gray gnatcatcher <\/a> and they look real silimar but a little bigger. \u00a0Galpal Suzanne Richmond<\/a> suggested a nuthatch and \u00a0I see that’s exactly what they are.<\/p>\n
