White-breasted Nuthatch and more on Canon City Riverwalk


Though I have been unable to refind the Yellow-billed Cuckoo on the Canon City Riverwalk, there have still been a number of enjoyable birds to observe. Everytime I go there, I see and hear several hummingbirds including the pugnacious Rufous Hummingbirds. There continue to be juvenile Western Wood-pewees as birds in the many nests in the area hatch and the birds fledge.

Today the immature White-breasted Nuthatch in the photo was working furiously and calling frequently. Nearby were several immature Northern Flickers practicing their flying skills. Some birders consider late summer a slow time in Colorado, but I believe it is only as slow as one let's it be.
