I had a single Red-breasted Nuthatch in the yard the other day. The past two days I had a Mourning Dove which I have not seen in a very long time and today a single Evening Grosbeak and a very large flock of Bushtits.

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.
