Description
A Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) perches quickly on a broken branch during a light morning snow shower. This nuthatch is smaller in size than the White-breasted Nuthatch as well as faster in movement and flight. Their small size is not represented in their loud and distinct "squeaky-dog-toy" chirp. When two of these Brown-headed Nuthatches get together the squeaks they make talking back and forth to one another is extremely comical.

Adorable little fellow, I love the nuthatches as much as the chickadees for their unique personalities!

Thank you so very much Gary! Appreciate it! So excited you were able to see one! Put up a nest box for them as their population is dwindling. One can convert a bluebird house to a Brown-headed Nuthatch house by putting a 1 to 1 1/8 inch hole converter. They also make great neighbors with bluebirds, just put their houses at least 30 feet apart.:)
