Cute and Quick

 

Here is a Tufted Titmouse eating and caching some nuts and seeds.

 

 

The White-breasted Nuthatch and Chickadee are also customers.

 

 

It is interesting to see how differently the Nuthatch and the Chickadee eat.



White-breasted Nuthatch

 

The White-breasted Nuthatch is here in Oklahoma year round.

 

They can be hard to photograph because they move fast and do not stay in one place for long.

 

They have a very distinctive call that you can hear even when they are not close. The nuthatches are a cute little birds.

White-breasted Nuthatch

 So, what this nuthatch is doing is wedging this nut into the tree.

He will strike at it and break it open releasing the meat and gobbling it up.

The nuthatches are a sweet little bird. We have the White-breasted Nuthatch year round. We get the Red-breasted Nuthatch in the fall/winter.
