We worked for it this morning. It was a little quiet up at Betasso, even though we had some good numbers of a few species. Birds like pygmy nuthatches and chipping sparrows make you work because they don't stay still! Lots of good blooming up in the hills still, thanks to our occasional rains this summer.
