The White-breasted Nuthatch is charming backyard bird that can be seen doing all sorts of goofy things: from striking the characteristic "Nuthatch" pose, to hanging upside-down, or bobbing up and down a tree, they're always fun watch.

I particularly like it when they climb up a tree backwards.

I absolutely *adore* nuthatches.

I love these little dudes. At my parents house they jammed sunflower seeds from our feeders into the windows! When we opened them up in the springtime, there were little piles in the corners!

The White-breasted nuthatch is what got me into backyard birding. Thanks to them I’ve gone beyond the backyard in order to find more beautiful birds. I enjoy your videos!

Thanks so much! Glad the Nuthatch got you into birding!

By far my favorite back yard bird- they are So goofy, and fun to watch! Always upside down at the feeder, and hopping down the tree😂. They crack me up- Love me!

I love these little guys! Their enlarged back claw is such a neat adaptation!

We have red-breasted nuthatches at our feeder here in western Washington state. They are so adorably goofy!

I have one that visits my feeder. He darts around like a little ninja, and sometimes makes very insistent calls. So cute!

My second favorite bird after blue jays! White breasted nuthatches are so adorable and funny! Thank you for making this video on them, as it was a real joy to watch. And I learned something new- that the females have slightly lighter caps. Thank you!👍🙂👍

I still remember the first time encountering one of these cute, fun birds at Tall Timbers just outside of Tallahassee. I've not seen the pygmy nuthatch yet, but I adore the species overall.

Just got a few at our feeders this week!

We have White-breasted Nuthatches coming to our feeders all year round. They tend to be fairly bold and often threaten other birds with a spread wing display, "I'm bigger than your are".

Very cool birds. There is a large oak outside my home office window and I get to watch them all spring / summer long. One of my favorite sights.

Nuthatches are one of my favorites, and it is absolutely because they are so much fun to watch!! I also love the sound they make. I love this video!! ❤❤

@sarahcharlesworth9544 7 ай бұрын

One of my favorites. I always described their call as a mangled bike horn 😉 We have a pair that are quite friendly & will wait at the feeder or suet cage to get the freshest refill. Truly fun birds to watch & aren’t as skittish as our juncos & chickadees

Today chickadees came back to my feeders and I had my camera set up for a half an hour without the picture I was looking for. They are quick!

Very cool little birds :) So are Red Breasted and Pygmy. Only one I still need it Brown Capped...

I just watched a few flatten themselves to my deck rail, sticking their butt's in the air with all their feathers fluffed up. Looked like a bird's version of downward dog pose. 😂

My favorite bird ❤ I was so excited to see a video dedicated to them!

I'm working on my folks house. There are a bunch of woodpecker holes in the old wood siding and these little guys have moved in. We're going to redo the siding, so I have to evict these guys. I'm going to wait until this winter to see if they move along. At the very least their young will be gone. I hunt and fish, but evicting an animal after it's spent all that energy building a nest hits different. I'll have to put out some easy food and good building materials if they're still here in the winter. I also, now I see what you birdwatchers love so much. I may have picked up another outdoor hobby.

I have never seen them, only the red-breasted ones.

@tonymyers5939 6 ай бұрын

They are quick to tame & they LOVE peanuts There are a couple here that will eagerly take a peanut (or pecan or walnut) from your fingers. It's really fun to hand feed them like the squirrels.

Within a 4 miles radius of my house there is one every 3 years. Within a 5 miles radius they are common and abundant. They are SO closely tied to oaks in the west it's crazy.

I'm new to birding, and had never seen these birds before this past week, despite being in an area where they're very common. I had a bit of childlike awe watching one of them make soft little calls while foraging on a tree at a local park. Now that I know what to look for, I saw a pair of them at a different park today, so I'll have to keep an eye out in case they're mates, and living in or around that tree!

@BadgerlandBirding 4 ай бұрын

Yeah! Keep an eye out for other Nuthatch species as well, depending where you live!

They're one of my favorite little Birds to see . Recently here in Orange County California we've also had some Red Breasts Nuthatches that have made appearances as well .

My Boston Terrier has made friends with one of these and they chase each other around in the front yard.

I have a white breasted nuthatch that I can walk up to where I am to the point I can reach out and touch the little guy, and he just hops around the bird feeder and looks at me. The nuthatches love the pecan trees in our yard they just hop up on a pecan and start hammering away.

I currently have a female nesting in a birdhouse outside my window. Here's the surprising part.. there are TWO males feeding her!!!! I've seen both perched near the house, both with food, one goes in, come out, then the second one does the same! I know you said they are monogamous so I'm curious if this has been documented before??
