We were crossing the bridge behind the visitor center at the Cosumnes River Preserve late Friday afternoon (about 4:45) when we?noticed
a group of about twenty small birds with bright turquoise-blue feathers moving about in the marsh area to the left of the bridge.?Their turquoise color was so striking against the orangey-red brush!?They
would only land on a branch for a few seconds and would always land upside down so we were assuming they were some type of nuthatch.?
But when we got home and checked, for the first time ever, our bird ID app (Merlin through Cornell) said it was ¡°unable to identify this bird¡±! The photos are a bit blurry as they were quite
far away but we¡¯ve had blurrier photos of incomplete birds that were easily identified by Merlin so we are stumped! Would any of you have an idea of what these little guys could be??
