Tiny Gold Digger
Walking on the trail at a nearby lake, I heard pecking overhead in a pine tree I was passing and looked up fully expecting to see a woodpecker.
Instead I saw this little Brown-headed Nuthatch pecking away. I took quite a few shots trying to get a better look but it wasn't until I looked at the pictures on the monitor did a see he was actually pulling out grubs from underneath the bark. See below for a shot of the "gold" he was finding.
