FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] A great ten minutes (red-breasted nuthatch and warbler)

[<oligobird@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We always keep an eye on or small water feature, and today I went to top it up 
and surprised a rather bold red-breasted nuthatch.  He was so anxious to drink 
that he fluttered about only 6 feet away from me. I backed off so he could get 
to the water and then watched from in the house. Kay could not see him, she 
just had a laser correction after cataract surgery, so missed him. We had one 
as a resident all winter in 2005-06. Shortly afterwards an unusual warbler went 
to the same spot. This proved to be a first winter female chestnut-sided 
warbler.  The wing bars were as prominent yellow as shown by Dunn/Garrett 
Warblers (Peterson Guides) not the much whiter appearence seen in Sibley and 
the National Geo guides. Ralph and Kay Brinkhurst, Lebaqnon, Wilson Coutnty.
