On the northeastern edge of Boom Island Park, on the wide mowed path that is near the fences of abutting houses, I spent ten minutes watching a red-breasted nuthatch work its way through the few conifers along the path. There was no mistaking the black and white stripe above through the eye, its teeny-tiny size, and its occasional monotonous call.
I've never seen one there before - the closest I've seen them in town has been Reservoir Woods and Central Park in Roseville, and at Theodore Wirth. I haven't been getting over to Boom Island much this season during peak birding hours, will try to do so more often.
