We've had a large mixed flock of Red-breasted Nuthatches, Chestnut-backed
Chickadees, and Black-capped Chickadees here in our Sammamish backyard
eating us out of house and home for the last two weeks. Yesterday morning
we woke up to a huge flock of mostly immature robins flying around the
tree-tops in our neighborhood. Along with the robins, we had an Evening
Grosbeak, three Swainson's Thrushes, four flickers, and a goldfinch. It
definitely feels like the season is a'changing!



Oh, and also down at Llama Lake there were a dozen or so juvenile Least
Sandpipers yesterday.

Greetings All

Methinks we are in for another RB Nuthatch invasion. I've been out to
Whidbey
during the last two weekends and found them in areas where I usually don't,
and
they've suddenly appeared in my neighborhood (where they've bred in past but

were absent this summer). So, I think they are on the move, and it is early
yet.


It will be interesting to see if other mountain species follow.
