As I just mentioned in another post, as a new birder, I've become enamored by a Belted Kingfisher on the shore of Lake Champlain in Vermont, USA. And now every time I go near the spot I first saw it, I have to check and see if it's there. It nearly always is. My wife just started birding too and I took her to see if I could show it to her and we saw TWO. I wonder if it's a nesting pair and if their nest is nearby. I keep seeing a very small bird that runs up and down the side of trees. I think it could be a Brown Creeper, but not sure. Lastly, yesterday, I saw a very small bird high up in what looked like a dead tree, going into a hole and coming out with what looked like parts of the tree. It kept doing that repeatedly. Anyone have any idea what kind of bird would do that and why?
