  1. White-breasted Nuthatch

    After ghosting me all winter, the White-breasted Nuthatch waltzed back like nothing happened—typical.

  2. White Breasted Nuthatch - RBG

    Species: Sitta carolinensis

    The White-breasted Nuthatch is normally territorial throughout the year, with pairs staying together. The male has to spend more time looking out for predators when he’s alone than while he’s with his mate. That’s the pattern for most birds, and one reason why birds spend so much time in flocks. But the female nuthatch has to put up with the male pushing her aside from foraging sites, so she spends more time looking around (for him) when he’s around than when she is alone.

  3. White-breasted Nuthatch
    Sitta carolinensis
    Location: Hendrie Valley Trails, Royal Botanical Gardens

    The North Bridle trail of the Hendrie Valley trails is a fantastic part of this lovely trail system. It doesn’t have the boardwalks of the other trails but we came across this perfectly lit section. The late fall colours glowed in the mid-day sun. In the same 10 meters we saw these Nuthatches, a Downy woodpecker, Black-capped Chickadees, and of course there was an Eastern Chipmunk. Sadly I assume this is because people continue to feed the wildlife contrary to all the warnings but I am so happy to have had the chance to get these shots.
