In the condo next to my friend Jackie’s in Lake Tahoe there’s a hole pecked out of the wall that several Pygmy Nuthatches are using as a door to their nest.
We watched these little birds fly sorties to the nearby Pine trees gathering nuts and grubs and bringing the stuff back to the nest. We didn’t hear any little peeps, but wondered if there were chicks in there.
