White Breasted Nuthatch Finding A Spring Snack

One of our favorite yard birds is the White Breasted Nuthatch. We can usually hear this bird before we see it, as its unk, unk, unk sounds accompany its movement up and down the three trunks. We are lucky to often see some visit our bird feeders right through the winter. But it is in the trees where this yard bird is best viewed. It seems equally comfortable moving up or down the trunks of trees, search the crevices of the bark for seeds and insects. I found this one working one of our large maples in our side yard, discovering a little seed that must have been stored over the winter.
