White-breasted Nuthatch




Itook these photos of a White-breasted Nuthatch at the Florence River Park, a few miles east of the town of Florence. Though we often think of this bird as gray and white with a black stripe down its head, these birds actually have some brownish plumage.

I heard something surprising today about this species. Some friends of mine who have cedar wood shingles said they have at least one White-breasted Nuthatch pecking on their house with the Northern Flickers. I would be interested if anyone else has heard of such behavior.
