There Are 4 of These
There are 4 species of nuthatches found in North America. They are the red-breasted nuthatch, the white-breasted nuthatch, the brown-headed nuthatch, and the pygmy nuthatch.
While they have distinct physical features, these tree-climbing birds share habitat, food, nesting, and foraging behaviors in common.
I photographed two of them this fall here at my place. The white breasted and the red one.
Plus I included some more Chickadee photos. I can’t resist taking their photos when they practically come right up to me.

It amazes me how much more different the brown-headed act and sound than the reds and whites. I have not had as much time with the Pygmy beyond my two brief encounters with them. The browns sound like squeak toys and hang high in the evergreens. I always appreciate a good Chickadee encounter..and also a good clue as to where to look when the migrating Warblers come through.
Yes, I heard that squeak the other morning and found out it was them making that noise.
Je découvre ces différentes catégories de sittelle . Ici je n’en vois qu’une sorte celle qui a la poitrine rousse.
Thank you very much ☺️
Love chickadees
