Rusty-tipped Page
Rusty-tipped Page
A nice way to end November. The Rusty-tipped page (rare and new for a lot of us) was an early Christmas gift. First spotted and thankfully photographed by a novice visitor who asked me if I knew what the fuzzy photo was of … then (as you can imagine) a mad search and I finally found it in a different location. It stayed for over an hour and lots of folks came to see it. Also present was Rusty’s only other U.S. relative: a Malachite.
