Sitta Carolinensis
Cornell Link
5.1-5.5 "
White-breasted Nuthatches are one of five similar species found in North America. They are all known for facing downward while gripping the trunks of trees. They are found mostly in deciduous woodlands. All of these stood true for this nuthatch. They flock in large groups of chickadees and titmouses.
I have grown up listening to the little chirps these birds make. They are really common where I live. I love putting out suet in the winter and seeing these birds hang there and peck away at it. I once was walking through Tower Hill Botanical Garden and overheard a women... obviously from the city, reading her daughter an inscription on a plaque that described the potential birds available for viewing from that paricular post. When she got to Nuthatch, she pronounced it "New Thatch". I like that :)
