Just had my first RB Nuthatch at my house near Auburn. I've never had one here
in the 17 years I've lived here. My friend down the lake in Skaneateles has
them yearly. I had them in Syracuse too. I hope it becomes a regular though
it probably was just passing through.
Few Hummingbirds
Brown Booby still seen from Harris Park, town of Cayuga, 10:30 am Monday.
The bird was on Buoy 47, then flew to Buoy 49. Scope essential for viewing
from this spot.

Carol's post reminded me that we have had RB Nuthatches visiting our feeder
for most of the summer. Lately it's been two (at least) at a time. These
birds are not flustered in the slightest by my presence near the feeders.
We take them down every night to discourage raccoon visits, and the
Red-breasted Nuthatches are periodically irruptive species out of the boreal
forest. They tend to go south months before other irruptives, usually first
showing up in August. It looks like this is going to be an irruption year.
