This fine morning, about 8:30, as the Boss and I were approaching the car on
Wyman road south of Yarmouth, to take he to the shop, I head a different
call, which made me suspect nuthatch, but not red-breasted.  I kept looking
up at the big pine about ten feet to my southeast and the little guy showed
himself cavorting around the trunk.  First white-breasted nuthatch I have
seen down here for over fifty years.  On considerably more occasional visits
on the Hamilton road, which runs between Pleasant Valley and Raynardton, I
have seen these guys two or three times over the past couple of decades.

 

That reminds me:  In recent decades, red-breasted nuthatches have been
fairly common in our neighbourhood.  I have neither seen nor heard any this
summer, and cannot recall any reports from anyone of sightings.  Wonder how
those little guys are doing, globally.
