nuthatch





Usually we see Nuthatches walking UP a vertical tree trunk or hitching DOWN a steeply slanted tree branch, pecking insects he finds in the bark.

Today, the Nuthatch Sitta carolinensis sat like a songbird, perched on a twig.  With such warm winter weather, the meager snow so far is all melted and the insects must still be plentiful.
