I enjoy watching Nuthatches as they forage in trees. These energetic, small, birds fly in and grab a trunk or branch that is many times their size to perch on. They quickly move up and down the trunk and branches of trees looking for insects. When they climb down, they face downward.

In 2 prior posts, I misidentified a White-breasted Nuthatch; I called a Red-breasted Nuthatch. I did do my due diligence in identifying them but still go confused. Lesson learned.
