Getting desperate...

Whilst out walking in the rain yesterday I noticed an American Idia (see photo) clamped to a tree trunk. Not very interesting but getting a little late for such beasts. No news on the reported Band-tailed Gull as of yet. Am awaiting comment from Mr Gull on this little workshop. Would you like to see more of this sort of thing? This morning I heard a few Golden-crowned Kinglets and the odd chickadee on the way to the school yard.
