Observation details
A streaming flock of small nuthatches was flying westward over the treetop level. They weren't calling or I couldn't hear them calling at that distance. I thought they would be RBNU but I am not sure. Several photographs all show individuals with folded wings, and even enlargement cropping and lightening of shadows does not bring out color or much pattern, but I now suspect they were Pygmy Nuthatches. See attached, processed, terrible photos.
