Red-Breasted Nuthatch.jpg

This is the Red-breasted Nuthatch. As I was idly gazing out the library window at Orgle Manor this morning, I noticed one messing about the feeder. While we have lots of ordinary Nuthatches 'round here, I've never noticed one of the Red-breasted variety before. Very nice.

I have two that have been coming to my feeders for about a year now (I live about 20 miles east of Fairbanks). They are one of my favorite birds. Glad you have them there to enjoy.
