Nature Done Wright

I have counted birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count on two of the first three days (today is the last day),
and I have to tell you it was slim pickins — until my wife spotted this guy scrambling up the ash tree in our front yard.

   For once, I had my camera ready, and I managed to take a few decent pictures of this brown creeper.
   He was very small and active, and he moved up the tree in a hurry, and he was across the yard,
   I had to blow these images up, but it’s still a nifty and unusual little guy.
   Read more about him here.
   Now get back to counting.
   I’ve run out fingers to count the house sparrows on. (I thought a dangling preposition would be good to end on.)
