Strange Jay, Emory VA, Dec. 26, 2001

Where's the bird?   There's a Chickadee, almost hidden, the tip of his tail extends out of the hole toward the bottom.  About dusk as I searched for the Redwing that did not appear today, Sunday Feb 6, he flew into this small dead tree almost beside me and disappeared.   I looked and finally saw the tip of his tail and could then make out the rest of him in his protected roost for the night.
