Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) - Southeastern USA

Eurasian nuthatch (Sitta europaea clara)

The Pygmy Nuthatch (Sitta pygmaea) is a tiny gregarious songbird whose habitat ranges from southern British Columbia south through the western United States to central Mexico. This bird has a gray cap with bluish upper parts and white underneath. It is usually found in coniferous forests especially ponderosa pines. Pygmy nuthatches clamber among the limbs of these trees, feeding on insects and seeds. Pygmy nuthatches nest in tree cavities, lining the bottom with pine-cone scales and other soft plant and animal material. The female lays 4–9 eggs and does most of the incubation. This pygmy nuthatch was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

The Mountain Chickadee (Poecile gambeli) is a small songbird in the tit family Paridae. Adults have a black cap joining a black stripe behind the eyes and distinctive white eyebrows. Their backs and flanks are gray with gray underparts. They have a short black bill and a black bib. The mountain chickadee inhabitants the mountainous regions of the western United States, ranging from the southern Yukon to California and the Rocky Mountain States. They are monogamous and produce 1 to 2 broods per year. The young stay in the nest for 21 days and are fed by both parents. During the summer and breeding season their primary diet is insects. Conifer and other seeds are part of the diet throughout the year. The call of the mountain chickadee is a noisy chick-adee-dee-dee. This chickadee was photographed while perching on a branch near Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

$The Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea) is a small passerine bird found throughout the Palearctic and in Europe. Like other nuthatches, it is a short-tailed bird with a long bill, blue-gray upperparts and a black eye-stripe. It is a vocal bird with a repeated loud dwip call. There are more than 20 subspecies in three main groups; birds in the west of the range have orange-buff underparts and a white throat, those in Russia have whitish underparts, and those in the east have a similar appearance to European birds, but lack the white throat.\n\nIts preferred habitat is mature deciduous or mixed woodland with large, old trees, preferably oak. Pairs hold permanent territories, and nest in tree holes, usually old woodpecker nests, but sometimes natural cavities. If the entrance to the hole is too large, the female plasters it with mud to reduce its size, and often coats the inside of the cavity too. The six to nine red-speckled white eggs are laid on a deep base of pine or other wood chips.\n\nThe Eurasian nuthatch eats mainly insects , particularly caterpillars and beetles, although in autumn and winter its diet is supplemented with nuts and seeds. The young are fed mainly on insects, with some seeds, food items mainly being found on tree trunks and large branches. The nuthatch can forage when descending trees head first, as well as when climbing. It readily visits bird tables, eating fatty man-made food items as well as seeds. It is an inveterate hoarder, storing food year-round. Its main natural predator is the Eurasian sparrowhawk.$
