Abstract:
In June and early July of 2007 there were a number of sightings of Red-breasted Nuthatch on Long Island and in New York City. These observations are noteworthy for the early dates of arrival and their occurrence at locations that do not have regularly breeding Red-breasted Nuthatches. The early arrival of Red-breasted Nuthatches in Region 10 is often a harbinger of a fall coastal movement.
