[cobirds] Pygmy Nuthatch Centennial (Arapahoe County)

Hi all-
Had six or seven Pygmy Nuthatches in my yard just 10 to 20 minutes ago. Well, technically never in my yard. They flew over me and into nearby tree. I got a recording of them and will post it on ebird. The group of Pygmy Nuthatches then flew down by the stream next to my house and disappeared. The whole thing happened within a minute. Interestingly, the birds ignored my Douglas fir. Seems to have been a very good fall for Pygmy Nuthatches in the metro area, I was waiting for this species to get on my yard list. Also present was a Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay, that has been here since September 1st, as well as the second Ruby crowned Kinglet in my yard, high in my Doug fir.
