Hi All,
Yesterday, the 19th, a female Purple Finch came to drink at our yard stream 
here on Compton Mt. setting a new early date for the area. We have only one 
previous record of the species being seen in September, and that was September 
29th in 2001.

A Red-breasted Nuthatch that showed up last Saturday is hanging around and 
coming to take sunflower seeds from a feeder.

With the failure of seed and nut crops in Canada this year and the sightings 
already of Evening Grosbeaks in southern WV, maybe we will get a good irruption 
southward this year of interesting birds.
