I hadn’t been to our local reserve in a while so I was particularly happy to see this Red-breasted nuthatch close to the entrance. A bit smaller than the white-breasted variety and not as numerous in our woods, this little guy was very active, flying and landing briefly in the surrounding trees. A nice start to our walk.

I saw a nuthatch for the first time in my life a few weeks ago. There were three of them at Sherwood Forest. Such a wonderful sight. Thanks for sharing.

We’re fortunate as the white breasted nuthatch is quite common here. Both types are wonderful😊.

Love that photo. We rarely have this little visitor at our feeder in New Hampshire. When we do, it’s a great day.

Sherry- I contacted WordPress and this is what they suggested, if you agree. They’ll pursue it from there.
Thank you.

Oh, he’s so sweet! It makes me think of how it feels to have them curl their toes around my finger when I was feeding them in the bird sanctuary ( some time ago now, but unforgettable).
