Hey, everybody. Folks have been posting here about a late-summer movement east of the mountains of *red-breasted nuthatches,* and we've been noticing it here in the Lafayette, eastern Boulder County, area, too. Go outside for half an hour, and you'll more likely than not hear one of the little buggers *yank...yank...yank*'ing away.
And it's not just red-breasted nuthatches. Friday morning, Sept. 8, I was surprised by a *Williamson's sapsucker* along Boulder Creek near 75th Street; yesterday morning, Sat., Sept. 9, a *pygmy nuthatch* was jabbering away from a shade tree at one of the residences just west of Greenlee Preserve; and this Sunday morning, Sept. 10, near the Centennial Trail, one or two *brown creepers* were going at it in the planted spruces at the terminus of Old Tale Road. (The pygmy nuthatch was bird species #240 for me at the Waneka/Greenlee complex.)
