Brown-headed nuthatch
The best part of spending time in the backyard with my bird friends is earning their trust. Three times this afternoon I whistled up into the trees and one of our Brown-headed nuthatches flew right down - once only about eighteen inches (0.5m) from me.
They're spending a lot of time going back and forth to their nesting cavity in a tree in our yard. Normally if I whistle up to their nest a head pops out to see what I'm doing.
And THAT's why they're my favorite little backyard birds.
