Description
This little nuthatch with the big voice visits the feeders in the backyard every day.
The nuthatches belong to the family Sittidae. They are characterised by large heads, short tails, and powerful bills and feet. They advertise their territory by loud simple songs.
An intense bundle of energy at your feeder, Red-breasted Nuthatches are tiny, active birds of north woods and western mountains. These long-billed, short-tailed songbirds travel through tree canopies with chickadees, kinglets, and woodpeckers but stick to tree trunks and branches, where they search bark furrows for hidden insects. Their excitable yank-yank calls sound like tiny tin horns being honked in the treetops.
