According to my Stokes Field Guide to birds there is two types of Nuthatchs. The ones we have here are Red-breasted Nuthatch and there is White-breasted Nuthatch. Looking at the distribution map, your most likely seeing the White-breasted ones in your area.
What a great photo! I live just east of Sandy and we get a couple of red breasted nuthatches in the late fall and winter. Don't really see them the rest of the year. They are beautiful.
That's a pretty little bird for sure. And a great shot of him.
ReplyDeleteDifferent from our version with white faces and no buff color.
Sandy,
