There have been Red-breasted Nuthatch sightings - including some photographed and audio recorded, and by so many observers over all of this summer around N.Y. City that a listing of all of those sightings would fill MANY pages of single-spaced copy. These observations, some beginning at or near to the solstice week of late June 2024, have been regular in parts of Kings County - Brooklyn - N.Y. City, and - also include sightings from and in Manhattan, and more-specifically in Central Park this summer. Many of these observations from Brooklyn - Kings County, NY - have been archived in the eBird records all summer long and have continued to be.
Any claim of a first report of Red-breasted Nuthatch in Brooklyn in just the past ten days is simply due to a lack of records-searching in the eBird network for that part of N.Y. City. This in response to a claim placed on this list for a report issued on Sunday, Aug. 25th. Red-breasted Nuthatches were seen in Central Park and elsewhere in Manhattan over earlier parts of this summer. Accurate reports are welcomed - as always, and thanks to the many who offer those for birds all around.
