October 12 was Red-breasted Nuthatch day here in Breaks. I actually located that species in 4 different locations. Several other good birds were found @ the "Old Homeplace" around the pond, with Bay-breasted Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Gray Catbird & a 1st yr female Baltimore Oriole leading the way. Other birds there included a Red-sh Hawk, 2 Ravens, E.Phoebe, Song & Chipping Sparrows & several Flickers. The oriole is a new late date for me. Ruby-cr Kinglet was located @ my brother Jim's place & Golden-cr Kinglet was found in the Breaks Park. We continue to see a lot of Palm & Yellow-rumped Warblers here @ home as well as White-th, White-cr, Song & Chipping Sparrows. Dave R/Breaks
