White-Breasted Nuthatch

 

I can't remember if I uploaded this picture previously but I was going through my shots of 2020 today and I really like this one. This is one of my favorite birds in the backyard and one of the discoveries of my COVID year. There are so many birds in our neighborhood that I was just not aware. I can't recall ever seeing this bird, a White-Breasted Nuthatch in my lifetime and now I see one multiple times a day. There were several birds like that this year but this one ends up being one of my favorites. This guy hits a tree and lines up his (or her) shot, flies to the feeder for a quick second, takes a seed and flies away to eat it. Pretty cool.
