BIRDS: Red-breasted nuthatch

These rarer cousins of the white-breasted nuthatch have been in the area for awhile, and I finally got one at my feeder one afternoon this week.

The red-breasted nuthatch is a beautiful little bird, more a European sportscar than a clunky sedan like the sparrows at the feeder.

If he could sing like a Carolina wren, he’d have the whole package.

I had them in my yard this past summer, eating my sunflowers. They are acrobats, even more than the normal chickadees and other nuthatches!

Thanks. That was informative. A cute little guy too.
