[Doris Tichenor <dctichenor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This morning we saw our first red-breasted nuthatch at our bird bath.  
I'd been hoping to see one for the past several weeks. We only saw  
this one because both Carroll and I happened to  be watching the bird  
bath at the moment the bird appeared. It grabbed a couple quick sips  
of water and was gone in seconds. We kept watching and it reappeared  
about half an hour later. This time we got a better look and could  
see it was a male. Also, two hummers visited our feeders this a.m.,  
one at a time. Both were female ruby throated but we think they were  
two different birds. One was smaller and had different feather  
arrangement. Each came only once and did not linger.
