Nuthatches

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.

This week, I’m sharing a few more backyard birds from our new home. I’ve learned few some things. The tufted Titmouse behaves like the Oak Titmouse we had in California. It comes to the feeder takes one seed then flies away. The Carolina chickadee’s pig out; those tiny birds are always at the feeder.
