I had not seen a nuthatch until a couple of years ago. For some reason, they showed up in large numbers. I LOVED THEM! I wish they'd come back... nothing spotted last year... nothing yet this year. They're adorable though and so damn mellow!
Those laurels need to grow big enough that that I don't have to worry about the deer eating them to death, Jennifer.
Not a thing that's likely to happen in my lifetime, I'm afraid.
I've got a lot more nuthatch pictures, I set myself up in a chair near the feeder with a bathrobe over my head for camouflage. However, the sun which otherwise would have been nicely positioned behind my left shoulder was behind clouds, so the birds didn't show up well against the relative bright sky behind them.
I'll give it another try tomorrow when I head back through West Virginia on the way back to Columbus from Ashburn, Va. ~

That suet stuff is a big draw for the bug eaters, no? I do sunflower seeds, millet, and safflower.
Mountain Laurels looking good even though still in captivity.
The woodpeckers and nuthatches were loving it, J—. Also, a tufted titmouse dropped by. These and the chickadees are our usual customers up there.
And nutkin hasn't figured out how to bust in, which is a big plus.

The Comfy Chair!

Hey, when do the laurels get paroled?

The stones in the "looking good" picture look like a partially buried body.
...dangit, now I'm hungry.

I often think I may be seeing quite a bit of a nuthatch in the near future....
Looks like a target rich environment today.
we call it Snag-Bait.
