Saturday Critters ~ 122 ~

I had a lot of fun photographing this
White Breasted Nuthatch.
The dark black crown on the top of it's head, 
tells me it is a male.
And although I have read that they prefer sunflower seeds and suet, 
he sure was interested in the peanuts I had out for the other birds.
One interesting fact about this bird, 
it is the only bird that can climb headfirst down a tree trunk.







I could not pick a favorite image, so you get to see them all!

I love the nuthatches! They are fun to watch. It amazes me that they can handle those big peanuts.

So cute! He's taking great care in selecting the perfect peanut.

What a sharp little dresser! Funny how even the smaller birds want the bigger food sometimes!
