January 24, 2024 Bushtits always make me smile. The lowlands have their darling verdins, those solitary, flighty, yellow-headed acrobats of desert scrub and cactus. But we of the middle elevation oaks and juniper host their equal in size, energy, and cuteness.
I love your descriptives of the size of walnuts and comparing their behavior to kindergarteners. Thank you for making me smile at their cureness.
That’s so cool! I didn’t know anything about bushtits, and I just learned so much!
