- 2025-01-23: Since we arrived in Huesca earlier than expected, we had some time to head over to the mountains to look for the wallcreeper. Blindly looking for a good spot, we came across a trail heading into the mountains. After about an hour of walking, we arrived in some great habitat for the wallcreeper, but alas we did not find one. It was again difficult to get good looks at any of the terrified birds in the area. I blame the French for eating all of the tiny birds.
