Nuthatches: The upside-down bird

While woodpeckers search for insects by spiraling up a tree, the nuthatch zig-zags down the trunk head-first. Foraging upside-down may seem unnatural to us but nuthatches have a knack for it.

The bird with the barbed tongue and a drum roll

During the winter I had noticed on several occasions a small to medium size bird foraging mainly on the trunks and limbs of trees and sometimes on shrubs. It was an energetic bird in his search, often probing, scaling off bark, and excavating into dead wood in pursuit of insects. The bird had a fairly square head, a long, straight, chisel-like bill, and stiff, long tail feathers to lean against on tree trunks. His bill was nearly the same length as his head. The bird was entertaining as he would hitch up tree trunks and along main branches in search of his food. He would sometimes feed at the base of trees, along fallen logs, and even on the ground and particularly at the bird feeder. He had a slowly undulating flight pattern like most woodpeckers.

Voting: Self-governance in action

Self-governance guides our nation. Our country’s Founders affirmed its central role in the formation of our country in the Declaration of Independence when they asserted that to secure our freedoms our government must derive its just powers from “the consent of the governed.” Voting is an important way we participate in our system of self-governance.

He lived on a fixed income but had been able to put some money aside over the years to meet his living expenses when he retired. But then he got the phone call from a man that convinced him he had been to his church in Bonners Ferry a couple times and was having an unexpected delay in getting his paycheck.
