white-breasted nuthatch at Lake Meyer Park IA 116A0918
This white-breasted nuthatch looks a bit chubbier than normal but that's because its feathers are inflated to trap air and add insulation against the frigid cold. The polar vortex continues to pump arctic air from the North Pole right down into the Driftless Region.
