Nuthatch with the prize

White-breasted Nuthatch, Kennebunk, Maine, USA.

We put the mealworms out, of course, for the bluebirds. We have had bluebirds frequenting our yard for the past 4 years. But (also of course) the other birds, Titmice, Chickadees, and Nuthatches also eat the mealworms. A mealworm is quite a mouthful for the smaller White-breasted Nuthatch. The Titmice and Chickadees only take the broken bits. A bluebird can swallow a mealworm whole. 🙂 This White-breasted Nuthatch took his prize up to a nearby branch to figure out how to deal with it.
