I have more red-breasted nuthatches in Gum Spring this year than ever
before.
Normally get 1 or 2, I have at least 6 this year, potentially more, but
it's
difficult to count when they are moving back and forth from the trees to
the feeders.
Nothing has really changed in the yard habitat-wise, so not sure if word
is out
or if this is just an irruptive year for them.
