    My wife calls them peep-peeps because of the sound they make while flying. They now are back in my yard making their sound heard and making me happy with their presence again.

    Surrounded by Loblolly Pine Trees, I am also surrounded by Nuthatches and thankfully, once on a decimated statute their numbers have picked up.

    I couldn't believe this Nuthatch was roaming my back grasses for nearly 15 minutes. At first I thought it was injured but a Hawk flew over and the Nutty took off just fine.

    A little one for a change ;) A few years ago, these little ones were close to becoming endangered but thankfully their numbers are growing.
