You can see examples toward the end of the Dec. 12th, 2015 post. <br /><br />http://unionbaywatch.blogspot.com/2015/12/nuthatch-delight.html<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder! <br /><br />Happy Birding!<br /><br />Larry<br /><br /><br />Larry Hubbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346591926338103362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340068615976654326.post-63066475362373185322018-03-04T18:43:41.480-08:002018-03-04T18:43:41.480-08:00You are very welcome.
