White-breasted Nuthatch....Sitta carolinensis





These guy's will put on a show for you....they are fun to watch going up and down the side of a tree trunk....they put on this fierce "Act" when other birds are on the feeder's. It is a combo fluff out and wing spread show...along with head bob's and aggressive body movements. I have yet to see another bird..leave in fear...LOL so I guess the "Show" is just for onlooker's enjoyment. Many folks just call these the "Upside Down Bird".....
As you can see from the last photo..it was a rather windy day, yesterday. He was spinning round and round on this suet feeder....adding to his antics.
