      @@yaad2226 It's so hard to say for sure what could be at play but I don't think they should have left for the US, not yet anyway. It could be that they found another good food source.

      @@LesleytheBirdNerd I’m in north Texas and idk exactly when but around 5-7 years ago my feeders quit having hardly any birds compared to previous 5-6 years. The sky in my whole neighborhood really emptied of birds. I get some doves a few sparrows and finches at feeders and some woodpeckers at their suet. Occasionally a couple of cardinals or the odd species here and there. It’s just heartbreaking 💔. Sky seems so sad without all the birds.

    So beautiful! The only wildbird that ever landed and ate sunflower seeds out of my hand was a Red Breasted Nuthatch. I hadn't planned it. While refilling my bird feeders I felt something looking at me. I looked up and on the bird feeding station was a Nuthatch waiting for those seeds I slowly put my open hand out with sunflower seeds and that's all it took to land on my little finger and grab a seed or two.

      I've wondered how to tell the birds apart and how people do it, I've even always wondered how they know their mates from other birds in the area because to us from a distance they all look the same. I've noticed that they all have different personalities however and I'm sure up close they've got some little different markings or a coloring shade that's different and that's the way to keep up. I just wish I had a good camera for bird watching as many are getting so tame I could get beautiful photos. I've got a white breasted nuthatch that acts like he wants to land on me, and I do have a few little hummingbird friends that will actually land on my forearm while I'm hanging their feeders after refilling them.

    Nuthatches are perhaps the best to watch for their silly acrobatics and sounds.

Still haven't seen a red one, but I live in northern NV now so I'll be more likely to see one eventually.

I know they like to eat from cones and there are next to no conifers around here so I never expected to see any. I thought they were just passing through, but they've been showing up at my feeders pretty consistently this winter. Man I've been missing out! They're such cool little birds and fun to watch too. I hope they come down here every winter.

    I get a big smile on my face when these little guys show up at our feeders they don't show up every year at our feeders like the white breasted do... But last fall they showed up at our feeders I seen two of them they don't stay but a few days and then their gone hopefully this year they will come back for another visit...

    What a brilliant video. Thank you so much. I have been a bird watcher in the UK for over 65 yrs!!
    I remember seeing my first European Nuthatch nesting in a garden box over 40 yrs ago! They had filled the slot with mud leaving just a small hole. Thanks for posting, regards, John. UK.

    I have a lot of Red-breasted Nuthatches in pine trees in NE Oklahoma! They began arriving in September. They are very vocal, incessantly so at times. One flew down so close to me I could here the wingbeats.

    Ive seen both the white and the red nuthatches at my feeder at the same time this winter. I rarely see them at all even in winter in my area. They are more the welcome to hangout at my feeders.

      Hey, thank you. And yes those nuthatches are so cute for sure. My absolute pleasure to give you a shout-out, you have so many wonderful videos and you have been so generous to us. I hope you have a great year with the nestboxes.

    I love how you really get to know the birds personally. Especially noticing Lentil's various mates over the years. Incredible!! I'm in the midwest and we get these little beauties from time to time. Thanks for such delightful videos! 🙂

    I was trying to take some photos of a red-breasted nuthatch in my yard today with my new zoom camera. He gave me a lot of chances going back and forth grabbing seeds than stashing them in the trees, but he just moved to much for me to get a good shot! I love these birds though, and am always surprised that they show little fear of me and will land on a feeder as I hang it back up after refilling it.

    Love the little nuthatches, both white and red breasted. We didn't have any red breasted nuthatches in '21 and '22 and so far I haven't seen one this year. If we get a few later I'll be sure to get some pictures to post on FB. I usually post a bird picture almost every day.

    Lentil really is adorable! What a sweet little bird! I wonder if she thinks that by stashing some seeds in your clothing, she’s ensuring that you’ll always have a supply of seeds for future visit :-). I’ve been enjoying having my first Red-breasted Nuthatch here in TN this winter. I see her frequently at the bird pond but haven’t noticed her yet at the feeders. She’s so tiny, I may have just missed her! I’ll be sorry to see her leave in the spring.

    I hear and see Red Breasted Nuthatches all year at my home, in Saskatchewan, this is the first year I've gotten one to notice my feeder. He is quite aggressive with the chickadees often driving them away to get a seed, even though he's out numbered 6-1 he is the boss. He is a bit more causious around me than the Chickadees but he still comes close and scolds me when I'm tending the feeder.

    Oh, Lentil, you are so strong and resilient as well as cute! You have enchanted Lesley by hiding seeds on her! I haven’t seen any red-breasted nuthatches in southeast Virginia, but there are white-breasted nuthatches - and plenty of those Carolina wrens you mention! I love hearing these little wrens sing - they are pretty loud! With the unusual cold spells we are getting, I know the birds are waiting for me to refill the feeders and birdbath in my yard. Water evaporates quickly in it, so when I put out fresh water I get lots of visitors. I’m so thrilled to see my winter visitors, the yellow-rumped warblers, again! Every bird is so precious to me.

    Lol! That was adorable, hiding seeds on you. I love Red-breasted Nuthatches❣️ The funniest thing (and noisiest) is to hear a young one…They have such a loud, repetitive “meep, meep, meep, meep.”

    This little legume brings a smile to my face. Her R2-D2 style vocalizations crack me up. I also am fascinated by the way these birds scale trees. Such deft, purposeful movement. I will keep an eye out for the red breasted nuthatch when I resume weekends at my 'up north' spot in the spring (northern Michigan, solidly in their breeding range). Another fantastic video!
