Nuthatch against a background of Autumn leaves. Nuthatch – Sitta europaea. Devon, UK Canon 50D / Canon 500mm F4 IS plus 1.4 x Extender / ISO 500 / F6.3 / 1/100th / Evaluative Metering -2/3 / Tripod This is the only species of nuthatch in the UK. Unlike woodpeckers and treecreepers, they commonly descend tree trunks headfirst. They live for about 11 years and are found in England and Wales, France and Iberia, east through much of the Mediterranean area to parts of Turkey and the Caucasus and north to southern Scandinavia and Russia. They also breed in a limited area of Morocco. Their favoured habitats include woodland, parks and gardens, and they sometimes visit bird tables. They feed on insects, as well as nuts and seeds, which they hammer into trees and split open with their sharp beak. Nuthatches are agile birds that spend the majority of their time in the trees. They are able to run headfirst down trunks as well as upwards, picking insects from the bark. Nuthatches nest in holes in trees, often plastering up the hole with mud if it is too large. They lay 6-9 eggs, which are incubated for 14-15 days. The chicks fledge after 23-25 days.

The boy insisted on putting out a number of bird feeders just outside our door, so now the cats are glued to the window and I can lay and wait for the birds with my camera. These little guys are fun to watch, because of the way they scurry up and down the trees enroute to the feeders. Photographed with my Canon Rebel XT and 55-250IS zoom lens, ISO 800, f/5.6.

Nutty
by Krys BaileyI couldn’t believe my eyes this morning when this little guy appeared at our bird feeder. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a Nuthatch and there were a pair of them toing and froing for their breakfast. Unfortunately the feeder was in deep shade at the time but then this little fella went up to inspect the bird nesting basket which was in the sun, and here he is! Pure luck – it’s made my week! ;o) (Maybe I need to get out more, rofl!) ;o))) Canon EOS 50D with Canon EF 400mm L f/5.6

Taken with a Canon XSi DSLR with a 300mm lens. I took this picture near Aspen Lake today. They got about a foot of snow yesterday and it was melting today. It made for an interesting shoot. Aspen Lake got its name because of all the aspen trees around it. It is just north of Colorado Springs, Colorado. /

The nuthatches and chickadees in a local park here in Calgary can be quite tame. At one point while I was at the park, I had four chickadees on me at the same time. Two on my hand, one a little farther up my arm and one on my shoulder. Wish I had someone there to get that shot ;-)

After many years of stalking and only getting distance images of these delightful little birds, today was my lucky day. While feeding my chickadees..along came this wonderful Pygmy Nuthatch! He was within 4 feet of me. I was thrilled to bits! ~ Enjoy! / Sony a700 70-200mm f/2.8 / 160mm f/4 1/640 ISO400 Manual / Slight horizontal cropping of image 2009 11 15 Featured in the Group ‘Welcome to Washington (The State!)’ In Washington, Pygmy Nuthatches are closely associated with old-growth Ponderosa pine forests and are seldom found outside of this habitat. Pygmy Nuthatches can be found year round in the Ponderosa pine forests of the eastern Cascade lowlands, up to middle elevations (especially near Wenas Creek in Yakima County), locally in the Blue Mountains, and in the Ponderosa pine belt fringing the north side of the Columbia Basin (especially in the Okanogan and in Spokane). Pygmy Nuthatches are the most social of Washington’s nuthatches and are found in flocks year round. Winter flocks roost together in cavities. Pygmy Nuthatches forage primarily on cones and in needle clusters at the outermost tips of high pine branches. Because they are often high up in trees, they are most easily located by voice. Pygmy Nuthatches are one of only a few cooperatively breeding songbirds in North America. During the breeding season, about a third of the pairs have up to three helpers at the nest. These helpers are usually related males, often offspring from the previous year. These birds help defend the nest site and raise the young.
