It's been a few years since this rare visitor has made an appearance this far south. Last fall saw a bumper crop of conifer cones (spruce, fir, hemlock and pine) in New England and Eastern Canada. This enabled the Nuthatches to be very productive breeders this past spring/summer and we may have a good Red-breasted Nuthatch season. They've been reported at many parks, nature centers and refuges in the area.

 

Let your compassion come to me that I may live,

for your law is my delight.

May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause;

but I will meditate on your precepts.

May those who fear you turn to me,

those who understand your statutes.

May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees,

that I may not be put to shame.

Psalm 119:77-80
