Its always exciting for me to see a little nuthatch feeding from the feeders we have in our trees just outside our living room windows. In recent years it has been the red-breasted nuthatch that we have seen most frequently. Maybe a white-breasted Nuthatch will show up sometimes this year. There are two nuthatch species which I see and their naming relates to the colour of their breasts; the red-breasted nuthatch and the white breasted nuthatch.. In the pictures included you can probably decide which is which by observation. I have not seen any nuthatches recently. These photos are from my photo archives.

We have more of the white than the red though the red will start showing up as soon as the cold sets in. the white-breasted are here all year.

I love these funny up-side-down birds. I always thought the white breasted are braver and that is why we more of them. Perhaps. Great Captures!
