This little Nuthatch is a strange-looking creature as it moves
headfirst down a tree trunk while foraging for invertebrates, seemingly not knowing which way is "up". It is
known for wedging nuts and seeds into crevices and hacking them open
with its beak. They nest in natural cavities in large deciduous trees,
or even make use of abandoned woodpecker nests.
This Nuthatch poses with a nut he has wedged in the tree bark.

The White-Breasted Nuthatch is a common visitor to backyard feeders, but I have personally not seen any at mine yet. These were taken at Lake McClellan in the panhandle.
