Strolling about the New York Botanical Garden on Saturday, I was very excited to discover the place is quite a haven for a number of birds even in the winter. Added two to my life list: tufted titmouse and red-breasted nuthatch. (I used to see white-breasted nuthatches in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, near the 9th St. playgrounds. Very calm birds.)
I actually thought this was a winter wren at first, owing to the stumpy tail and not being able to see the blue-gray color in silhouette. My friend noticed the color, and then I realized the bird was head-down while moving rapidly around the trunk. Well duh!
