Two red-breasted nuthatches have been coming to my feeders here in the
Gardenside area of Lexington since at least November. This morning I actually
determined that they are a male and female- I have a few good shots of the male
and will try to get the female as well. Although I have peanut suet available,
I have only seen them take safflower seeds (I don't provide sunflower seeds)-
like chickadees, they are very discriminating when it comes to seed selection!.
This is the first time in almost 10 years of feeding that I have seen this bird
in the yard. I thought this was interesting since Cornell's BirdScope mentioned
that eBird predicted an irruptive year last June and July. Also, on Thursday
2/28, I happened to catch the first chipping sparrow for the yard this year.
