White-breasted Nuthatch foraging on tree trunk

22 July 2015

White-breasted Nuthatches are small, stocky, black-capped songbirds, most often seen as they actively forage up and down the trunks of large trees. This species readily visits backyard feeders, and typically flies off with a single seed before using its wedge-shaped bill to hammer open the shell on a branch.
