Backyard Birds: Nuthatches

[bowhuntingohio]

The white-breasted nuthatch bird is sometimes called the upside-down bird, for obvious reasons. It tends to creep headfirst down tree trunks, looking for insects in the tree bark. If you see a white-breasted nuthatch making lots of quick trips to and from your feeder, it may be storing the seeds for later in the winter, by wedging them into furrows in the bark of nearby trees. If you typically see these little birds at your feeder, you'll also want to be on the lookout for its red-breasted cousin. Red-breasted nuthatches are primarily winter visitors to Ohio, and they are very similar to the white-breasted - just look for the differences in color!
