    I was having a hard time finding birds to photograph until this little bird came to the rescue! It posed a good long time for me, perhaps because of the cold weather.

    This white-breasted nuthatch eats upside down a lot

    This white-breasted nuthatch comes to my feeder and almost always eats upside down. I have no clue why he prefers to do that more often then right side up. If the link doesn't work please let me know thank you

    Put out a few peanuts and these birds are very interested in them.

    I have a what might be mating pair getting ready to set up nesting quarters somewhere near my yard. The two show up daily at the feeders. They interact a lot but not in a confrontational way.

    I have a couple that are in and around the yard daily. I always enjoy watching these energetic birds.

    SAT FUN: WHERE IS IT?

    This White Breasted Nuthatch looks like it can't hold its head up. But in fact the bird is just fine. It is only trying to peer under the edges of the roof shingles. Its trying to see if there are seeds and nuts there that other nuthatches and chickadees lodge under them on a regular basis.

    White breasted Nuthatch

    I've mentioned this before about my nuthatches, both red breasted and white. Both are a very active and quick moving bird, almost never still. However, every now and then I will see one that seems to slip into a quiet, zen-like state for minutes at a time. This one was doing that. It stopped on...

    Always a fun bird to have around. Haven't seen any Red Breasted Nuthatches around lately though. Hope they turn up soon.

    I remember the first time I ever saw one of these birds. For some reason I just didn't see them in the area where I grew up. When I finally saw one I had no idea what it was. I knew nothing about birds at the time. I said , "Look at that bird! It looks like a tiny seagull" lol

    Unlike the loud nasal sounding vocalizations you normally hear from these birds, this one was just perched here making high pitched mewing sounds. I have only heard one doing this once before. I have no idea why they do it, the bird was perfectly healthy and went back to it's normal behaviour...

    Getting a nuthatch in flight is almost impossible for me. They're way too quick. So I tried the pre-burst function on my camera and got this. Unfortunately it gives you an image of just over 1 megapixel. (1.28) so the quality is poo. But it's still fun to try.

    White Breasted Nuthatch

    I have seen several instances of male WBN's doing a courtship ritual of feeding a morsel of food to females. Can never seem to catch it in camera though. This fellow hung here for several minutes holding this sunflower seed, vocalizing, and looking around. As if he was waiting for his girl to...

    Like these guys. They are so distinctive looking compared to other nuthatches.

    A pause in the action. This one came zipping down a tree trunk and got quite quite close, then noticed me, and just stopped moving and calmly regarded me. Must have been waiting for more peanut butter.

    A photo taken yesterday with my old Fuji S4800 while my Nikon B700 was charging. The Fuji camera is slow to focus, has no viewfinder, has a very low resolution back screen, needs a ton of light to get a fast enough shutter speed to get a half decent photo, and was very frustrating to use. The...

    This nuthatch was watching the April snowstorm of last week with some distaste I think.
