Gorgeous Red-breasted Nuthatch

The feeders have been humming with activity that last few days. A gorgeous male Red-breasted Nuthatch has been visiting regularly. I am hoping that it is the same male that spent the winter here last year. We haven’t had any Pine siskins or Juncos yet this season. There are Tufted Titmouse, Carolina and Black-capped Chickadee, Brown Creeper, Mourning Dove, and American Goldfinch.

This is an image that I took of last years visiting male Red-breasted Nuthatch.
