Invasion.
Posted on | January 17, 2013 | 4 Comments
Our usual white-breasted nuthatch was here today, climbing up and down the trees.
Plus, the brown headed nuthatch pair was back today.
And they brought a friend, another bird we’ve never seen here before—a red-breasted nuthatch. From this angle you can see his red tummy.
From this angle, you can see his 2 black stripes—one over his head and one over his eye.
In case you can’t really see anything in my photos, here’s some better ones from real photographers:
White-breasted nuthatch.
Brown-headed nuthatch.
Red-breasted nuthatch.
The weather forecasters are calling for sleet and snow tonight. Clearly, this is some kind of cover for a nuthatch invasion. Hide your sunflower seeds and your peanut butter, people. Things might get ugly. I’m just sayin.’

I love pictures of birds at the bird feeder, were you taking them from inside your house?
Yes, this is sure notification that the weathers changing.

Yes, I have 2 huge pictures windows and we put several feeders outside them in order to watch the birds. I don’t have great photography skills and have just a cheap point-and-shoot camera but I still like to take pics of them. The feeders were jam packed today, even in heavy rain, so I do think snow is coming!

Well, I hope so, I like nuthatches. I like the little “peep, peep” sound they make when they work up and down the tree.
I find more birds visit the feeder when it warms up for a spell. Although lately, they have been quiet as there is a hawk perusing the hood. 🙁

I see several dozen of the White Breasted family at my 4 feeders. We call them ‘Tree Runners’ because of the way they run up and down the trees. I recently watched one poking seeds from one of the feeders under the shingles on my garage roof. They are fun to watch.
