Nuthatches

Red-breasted Nuthatch - Fish Creek Park, AB         A very curious Red-breasted Nuthatch was interested in the what we were doing in Fish Creek Park just on the southern end of Calgary. There is a saying that gives a bit of a hint as to what you might be looking at moving up or down the trunk of a tree. Nuthatches down, and Creepers up. It doesn't work 100% of the time but I would say at least 85%. In this case horizontal works just fine.          Michael W Klotz 2021 - www.TheBirdBlogger.com

Red-breasted Nuthatch - Bebo Grove, AB         Another bird that was interested in what we were doing during a cold walk in Bebo Grove in the south of Calgary, Alberta. The Red-breasted birds are one of four Nuthatches in North America, one of three in Canada and one of two in Alberta. One of the things that I learned when I got serious about birding was that Nuthatches are more apt to go down a tree where a Brown Creeper is almost always going to head up a tree. Also, if you watch a nuthatch after they grab a sunflower seed or two and are full, they will take the seed and find a crevice in the truck of a tree and hammer the seed into the hiding spot for finding later.
