Nuthatch


Along with the five-needle pines come the nuthatches.  Like this one:  A red-breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) hanging around to see what I am doing.  The funny thing about a nuthatch, if you watch it closely, is that it will walk down the stem of a tree, head pointed at the ground.  The funny thing about this particular nuthatch is that it has a little triangle of wind ruffled feathers on its shoulder.
