Nuthatch

This seems to have been a good year for nuthatches and in particular the White-breasted Nuthatch. They are sweet birds who crawl up and down the trunks of trees quickly, then fly in to a feeder for one seed and then back to the tree. There is almost constant movement!

Hello, they are sweet birds. I love to watch them in my yard. Great shot.
Thanks so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend.

There is a bird here called a verdin that is much the same. They never sit still so it's almost impossible to get a good photo. This one turned out great.

Beautiful bird. A different looking bird than we have here.

What a nice capture, you caught it when it was taking a break from flying and running back and forth.

A pretty little one!

I find the birds' ability to cling to vertical trees fascinating.

Well done on catching it Pat. Such a sweet wee bird ✨

You caught it very well. They do seem to be in constant motion.

Fine nuthatch photo. We usually have them around all winter, but realize I haven't seen one in ages. This winter might have been hard on them.

Hello. Beautiful bird. Great photo!

Very similar behaviour to our Nuthatch in the UK. Just different colouration.

I used to go to a dentist where windows looked out onto a park; you could watch nuthatches climb up and down the tree as you waited between various tortures. Pretty much the only fun thing that ever happened to me at a dental office.
