Bird of the Week: Red-Breasted Nuthatch

Feeding Wild Birds

This is an interesting article about the red-breasted nuthatch.

This week's featured bird, the red-breasted nuthatch, is a tiny bundle of energy that happily - and hungrily - visits backyard feeders for suet, peanut butter, seeds and peanuts. They often forage with other similarly hyperactive birds, including kinglets and chickadees, but with their rich red underparts and bold black-and-white head, these nuthatches are hard to miss.
