p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · New guy in town - Brown-headed Nuthatch


I think I had seen this guy maybe twice in two years until he started showing up around the feeders last week. Always come and gone in a flash for the first several days, but I think he got a little more comfortable finally, and let me have a good ten seconds of him in one spot for a couple of shots near dusk on an overcast day, so the light was terrible. But, hey, I'll take it. He's a new one for me.

Thank you, Paul and Mike. I hope to get more shots with better light and color in the future.

Very nice background and pose. If you see one, there are probably others. I grew up in upstate South Carolina and never saw these, but they have been a regular at my Mom's house for the last 3 or 4 years.

I made some suet feeders out of dead branches by boring several holes into them , packing the holes with suet and hanging them around my Mom's house in SC. The Brown Nuthatches went crazy for them and 2-3 were on them all the time. They seemed to be more inclined to this rather than the standard suet feeder cage. Scott

I did exactly that, Scott. It's right next to the log feeder he is on, but he seems to prefer the sunflower seeds in my feeders more than the suet for some reason. I once saw him sitting for 3 minutes in one spot on a plastic "lantern" style feeder without moving, as if enthralled by all the seeds, but I don't take shots of them on non-natural looking feeders. Maybe this one is a little off in the head.
