Red-breasted Nuthatch movements

[Walter Wehtje]

Yesterday afternoon I birded the Dadd Gulch Trail along the Poudre River in Larimer County with Leslie Starr. Apart from a flock of 10+ Audubon's Warblers that had a Yellow Warbler, female American Redstart and a Townsend's Warbler along for the ride, we counted at least 9 RBNU. A nice total but I didn't think much of it. This morning, while out with the dog, I heard 4+ RBNU calling in my Fort Collins neighborhood. It seems early for these guys to be so low this early. Is anyone else seeing/hearing unusual numbers of RBNUs along the Front Range?

I get them in Highlands Ranch every year around mid-August.  I used to think this was early, but it’s happened every year.  This year, they showed up last week.  Right now there is one picking around the pine outside my window.

I am located just south of Cherry Creek State Park.  I have had RBNU's visiting my yard all year.  Two have been especially regular visitors this summer.  On July 2, I had an adult feeding 2 fledglings.  I am assuming that they nested nearby, because their visits were so frequent.  According to my records, RBNUs were around last summer as well, but not as regularly.

Check out the species map for Red-breasted Nuthatch via Explore Data on eBird and set the date for July - August. It reveals how widespread the species is in all the Front Range urban areas in the summer.

Last year (2016) I had some well into the summer, and thought they had nested; none this summer.

 

I had a few pygmy nuthatches earlier this month on the same days that everyone was first reporting them.
