Picky Red Breasted Nuthatch (1 Viewer)

Hello all,

As I was trying to capture some in-flight photographs of some birds around the backyard feeders, I started to notice a few specific picky eaters.
I thought I'd share it with you all.

I captured some footage of a few nuthatches that seem to be quite fussy about what they eat.
Even though the feed is mostly sunflower seeds and peanuts, they still filter through it all looking for just that right one. Kind of funny. I've see this before with other birds but never this intensively with these nuthatches. Interesting behaviour.

Cheers!
