An occasional winter visitor to our yard, this year we've had one, or maybe two, which appear to have taken up temporary residence. They show up for a day or two, go missing for a similar period, and then are back again. Or perhaps they're here every day and we're simply not sufficiently observant.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology reports that this could be a good year to see a variety of usually northern species down here in the lower forty-eight, and the National Audubon Society says that it will be especially good for these nuthatches.
Red-breasted Nuthatches, much like their resident White-breasted cousins, seem to be constantly on the move. Making them rather difficult to photograph. I've been trying for the last two weeks to get a shot, and out of twenty plus shots I got these few 'blog worthy' images.
Bye-bye!

And then the bird perched on the feeder pole and was still for several minutes.
No doubt a hawk was in the area, and the birds were frozen.
And I got a few more usable shots. 🙂
