Christmas Eve

I took off early for Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge. The government was shut down, so I was a bit surprised that I could get in. The place was busier than I’ve ever seen it—I must have passed 10 other cars. What it wasn’t was full of birds. There was very little to be seen. I didn’t stay long.

I headed to Petit Jean State Park and walked the Seven Hollows Trails. There were people here too, but not many. I was on my own most of the time. I also stopped in the campground to look for Brown-headed Nuthatches. I saw a few, along with a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers.
