New visitor at the birdfeeder: White-breasted Nuthatch



I’ve often noticed the White-breasted Nuthatch scurrying down tree trunks head first, and heard the characteristic beep-beep call (like a toy truck). For the first time, however,  I recently witnessed this nuthatch at my safflower seed bird feeder. He’s fast so it wasn’t easy to get a photo. It seems that he’s discovered a “honey hole” and will be a regular visitor from now on.
