Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blutarski" data-source="post: 1528053" data-attributes="member: 76742">New bird at the feeder:  white chested nuthatch eating suet.  It was entertaining watching it hop up and down the trunk of our tree.  Instead of flying away when I got close, is nonchalantly hopped to the other side of the trunk, just like a squirrel.  I also heard it sing, and it's easy to remember.Also, heard some knocking up in the branches.  Soft and irregular.  Caught a glimpse of a black and white striped back high in the tree, but it was on the move and couldn't get the bins on it.  I've been itching to see a woodpecker, so I'll continue being vigilant.Saw the kildeer again, in the same parking lot.  I need to walk over there again and see if I can get a good look at it.Also got to watch a snowy egret fly by, not too close, however.</blockquote>
