More Birdy Pics

White-breasted Nuthatches look very dapper. They are always on the move, however. They pick up a seed and flit away to the trees to indulge. Their movement as they go down the side of a tree resembles a climber repelling down a rocky cliff: a short, jerky, controlled fall. The only time I've seen them stationary for any length of time is when the Blue Jays give a warning squawk. Every other bird beats it for the woods, but the Nuthatch (usually hanging upside down on the side of a tree) will freeze.

"So many to choose from."
