White-breasted Nuthatch captured by Z 6III / Z600f4TC @840mm
These little guys along with their cousins fill our feeders in the winter. While we have more and more nesting pairs each spring, each individual seems a tad unique. This particular White-breasted loves, just loves to hang with its much bigger cousin, the Northern Flicker. Not sure if it’s for the protection of its company, perhaps keeping a would-be suitor away, or simply likes them, but that is where I see it when I’m in the hide. But it’s this pose they all take that captivates me as they cruise the bark looking for a morsel. Great little bird, good company, love them White-breasted!
