Thanks, bummer we didn’t get that news release, but appreciate you mentioning it as somebody just texted us asking about the flyover. We were out but apparently just missed it.

I’m much more intrigued by the other flyer, the nuthatch. I’ve had a pair of them hanging around lately, they’re so pretty and have such a distinctive little call. They (and a lot of other birds right now) seem to be feasting on spiders, plucking them right out of their webs. I love the spideys, but the birds have to eat – especially given the fact that North America has lost 3 billion birds and over 500 of its bird species in just the last 50 years.
