Red-breasted Nuthatch Patch

#5 Red-breasted Nuthatch

This charming little songbird loves conifers, and will work its way up and down a spruce or pine looking for insects and seeds. They’re hardly shy, though, and unafraid to come close to humans – they might even grab food off your hand on a cold winter day. And although they’re typically found up north, they’ll head south when cone crops fail in their boreal forests.
