I love nuthatches. I love how they can walk down trees and hang upside down. I find them very entertaining to watch. Very rarely I will get a White-Breasted Nuthatch in my yard but they don't seem to stay around. However, when I do get some Red -Breasted Nuthatches in my yard they seem to stick around longer.
I think that the nuthatches sense that winter is coming as they are very busy and are back and forth to the feeder. In fact we had a bit of snow here today. The feeder they are most interested in has primarily black oil sunflower seeds and some split skinless peanuts in it. They also seem to be enjoying the suet.
In fact I can't believe how quickly all my suet feeders are being depleted by a variety of different birds. I just put out 4 cakes last week and they are almost gone.
Keep your feeders full folks, your birds are bulking up and getting ready for winter.
