White-breasted Nuthatch: Kennebunk, Maine, USA — This is one of at least two (I have seen two at the same time) White-breasted Nuthatches that frequent our feeders on a daily basis. During the spring and summer they would take a single seed and fly off to the trees to dispatch it…but the past few weeks they have begun to dig the kernel out right on the deck…wedging the seed in a crack in the deck rail and having at it. Someone’s comment on a previous post made think of the difference between our two “fearless” feeders…both the chickadees and the nuthatches will happily feed while I am on the deck, often landing within arms reach (you will have seen photos of chickadees trained feed from folk’s hands). The chickadees interact with humans. I am not sure the nuthatches even know we are here. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
