[TN-Bird] Red-breasted Nuthatch

Most be a red-letter, Red-breasted Nuthatch day (and month).  See the email 
from Irvin Pitts from South Carolina.  Another email today on the Georgia 
listserve has a Red-breast in Powder Springs, GA (Cobb Co.), and I have seen 
two this month, including one today, on my "mountain" (i.e., hill) property 
in Williamson County.  I would bet they will be as south as the panhandle in 
Florida (if you are going south look for them at Tall Timbers Research 
Station, FL just over the border from GA).

Good morning,
I've noticed the number of reports this fall of red-breasted nuthatch and I 
too observed one yesterday (September 19) on Dearborn Island near Great 
Falls Chester County SC. In the mountains around Caesars Head SC I found 
this species to be a regular fall migrant - occurring from mid-September 
through October (personal early arrival date being September 7, 1988). It 
seems though based on this year's reports, this species is occurring in 
higher than usual numbers in the midlands and lower parts of the state.
