European Nuthatch (sitta europaea)
Unfortunately, I was physically blocked from getting any closer for a better shot. I don't see many of these around.
Addendum: These photos look quite dark on my phone but look fine on my PC. I'll probably split the difference and re-upload.
Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla), taken March 7, 2025, in Georgia, US
Hanging around! As spring has begun to arrive, tons of these guys have just spawned in from who knows where. I sometimes see 3 or 4 on the feeders at once fighting over the best spot to eat! They're very small and kind of hard to photograph, but they make it easier by being very bold. Birds that come right to you are always a pleasure to photograph!
White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis), taken July 19, 2024, in New Hampshire, US
This guy sat on this branch and preened for a few minutes. It's the longest I've ever seen a nuthatch sit still! He almost looks like a completely different bird all calm and ruffled like that lol.
