Thanks so much for this. I still remember my first experience with meeting a red breasted nut hatch. It was walking head first down a tree trunk! One of my favorite birds ever since.
Always a treat to see your latest video. Your long-term relationships with the birds in your woods let us see them and their interesting lives in such amazing detail! Thank you for highlighting these delightful little birds, and especially lovely Lentil!❤
These little guys are so brave. I was filling the bird bath and a nuthatch got a peanut from the bird finder not more than a yard from me. He even talked to me! I guess he was just saying hello.
I love these smart and beautiful birds! It was only when covid kept me and my husband home that I started feeding wild birds and really got to watch nuthatches (and lot of other birds) on a regular basis. Then I found your channel and fell even more in love with them. Thank you so much for your videos! I love learning and your own obvious love for these little birds is so infectious. :)
Oh my gosh, that is so wonderful about the pandemic bringing out your love for the birds. I'm glad that you found my channel, too, and that you enjoy it. Love this🥰
@@LesleytheBirdNerd Well, I did like birds as a regular thing before the pandemic but in 2000 my husband and I bought a little parrot... and we both fell totally in love with him and, by extension, all birds. Sadly, he only lived 7 years but wow, he taught us so much and we loved him so, so hard... Now I feel that love expanding to fit all birds. And you have helped me so much to do a better job with the wild ones!
We always have nuthatches in our bush and I love to hear them and watch them scampering around the trees. For the first time this spring, I saw a male giving a female a food offering. They were really chattering to each other. So sweet. Hopefully they found a dead tree to nest in.
I have a couple of Eurasian nuthatches at my feeder, and me and my partner lovingly refer to them with pet names as "the bandits" or "look, the pointy one came for a snack". They are so brave and inquisitive and one of them impatiently landed on and pecked on a ball of... (Lard? Tallow? I don't know what they are called in English, lol) in my hand while I tried to fit it in the feeder. An absolute joy to just sit and watch them go about their business, and especially at this busy time for them.
Aww that is wonderful about them being daily visitors. I would love to see White-breasted nuthatches, and I would love to do a video on them. They are beautiful
@@LesleytheBirdNerd based on this video they have a lot of similar habits! once they found the feeder we have they have become really confident. I live in a suburban area in California and didn't even see them around before, but they climb around the cage on the tube feeder we have and chase everyone else off when they want some time to themselves haha I am completely enamored by the one male who comes around often who I started calling Jeremy
oh this is such a treat!! love seeing how nimble they are when they move and all of the little noises they constantly make, really just a delightful lil creachur
Wow, wow, wow. Tonight's video 5/21/23, is exquisite among your many, many soul-stirring videos. You actually recorded an incredible moment of them relocating the hidden food, oh my gosh! And the uncaching of the mate's just cached nut was fun to see! I will often call out yank yank yank to let them know I'm thinking of them, hear them, and have unsalted peanut halves or even pecans or walnuts or almonds (all unsalted). I love these little guys with all my heart. When you brought up the footage of Pinto and i heard the strains of that song you used to play in many older (and gorgeous and excellent) videos, i about cried. That music in your videos used to be my happy place. Watching and listening has brought me such peace and joy and appreciation over the years. I remember Maggie, and Hatch. And Kiwi with Lentil. And Dart, Patch, Buster, altho more vaguely them. I never comment, Lesley, but you and how you do, with your beloved birds, astound me and I quietly thank you each time you allow us into that beautiful world too. 🎼🐦
I have white breasted nuthatches in my yard. I adore them. Thank you! Edit: the up and down trunk walking is what caught my attention first. Thought it was the coolest thing to watch.
I love nuthatches. We mostly have White-breasted Nuthatches here, but I've seen Red-breasted as well. I didn't know they could catch nuts on the fly! These birds are SO COOL. Thanks for the video! :)
I thought I knew a little bit about RBNH's. I was right, I knew little. FANTASTIC video! I did not realize they were such talented little creatures. They are thoroughly enjoyable to watch at the feeder. . Pretty clever setting the camera at the bottom of the tree and watching the nuthatches coming down. Thank you, Lesley for sharing the video. Loved it!
Beautifully photographed, edited and narrated, Lesley. Your videos of your beloved birds just keep improving and drawing us into your unique view of the world. Job well done!
I've learned so much from you. Thank you so much for posting all your videos. These nuthatches are fascinating. I love that they surround their nest hole to keep our predators. Their ability to run up and down trees. Great footwork! ❤
I enjoyed to have visits of the white and the red-breasted nuthatches at my feeder at the same time this last winter. Now spring has sprung, and late this year, I wont see them or hear them until the piles of snow return.
Clever little birds! That's amazing about the use of sap resin as well as concealing their food caches. Nice some can catch those snacks mid-air. It's always a treat for me to see the Red-breast Nuthatches as they're not common in my regular birding areas. Excellent video and thanks for sharing!
Aren't they though?! Red-breasted nuthatches do some of the clever things for sure and they are just so awesome. Thanks for the nice comment, hope you have a wonderful night 🐦🙂
Lesley, thanks for showcasing these tiny characters! They used to frequent my feeders north of Seattle, but have been absent for a few years. I hope they return soon. 💗
I have a 4 month old kitten and he watched this with me. He's sitting on my lap as I watched it on my phone. He was absolutely captivated & staring at the screen the entire time! This is the first time he's shown any interest in anything playing on a screen!
I just love nuthatches, have both red and white breasted, they are so adorable with cutest noises. Also friendly and will eat from my hand. I have Aframe house and they walk every which way up and down roof, so funny to watch no other bird can do it.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours so far Leslie! it is fantastic. the picture and clarity and colors are beautiful to watch on a large-screen TV. It is wonderful to see lentil and her mate nesting. I never knew that nuthatches could catch seeds in midair. very talented!❤
Aww that is so wonderful I'm thrilled that it looked great on tv. :) Thanks a bunch. Those nuthatches are certainly quite the talented bird aren't they?! and so full of wonderful characteristics. Have a great evening 🐦🙂
I have them here in central New Hampshire, and back when I still had a feeder on a tree branch I'd get raided by chipmunks regularly. One day a chippie was headed back along the branch with a full load, the only escape route without a 6 foot jump to the ground, and he was confronted by a nuthatch who, for whatever reason, decided to do a "You Shall Not Pass" routine complete with the wings spread and the little swaying dance. The chipmunk stopped, looked confused for a moment, glanced down and decided "nah", looked back at the nuthatch and remembered that this is just a little bird after all, and barreled through. The nuthatch, of course, deftly flew up out of the way, but I'm quite sure the chipmunk received a good peck in the head as he passed by. And me without a camera running. So it goes.
I live in Northern California in the Sierra Nevada mountains, I didn’t even know these birds existed until I started putting feeders in my backyard last year. They definitely stand out from the crowd because of their adorable honking and the fact they are fearless! They fly right up to me when I’m refilling the feeders. I’d love to get them to eat out of my hand. They nest in the redwoods and pine trees behind my house. I love watching them flying back and forth, nonstop, all day. They’ll pick up a tiny morsel and fly back to the nest only bringing one seed at a time, it’s rather funny. I also love the constant tin horn honking sounds they make, there’s no mistaking them for any other bird! Thanks for all the great videos, I always learn something new from them. 😊💜🪶🦅💙🦉
Leslie, the bird whisper! Great video! I've also been following the adventures of two eagles in Big Bear Valley, CA for the past year, as well as a Kestral couple in Canada. I never realized how loving and devoted they are. It's so heart warming to watch💖
I hope that you do :) I must say though that I'm so envious that you have Brown-headed nuthatches. I've seen a few videos of them and they are incredibly adorable.
What a wonderful video! Not only are the red-breasted nuthatches very pretty and vocal, but they have some amazing adaptations and abilities! Thank you for these beautiful clips and the fascinating information, Lesley. There are white-breasted nuthatches where I live. I’m still mourning what I think was one of them that a hawk got, in my Japanese garden about ten days ago. Apparently the hawk ate it on the spot, because there were bones and feathers - took me a while to identify it. I buried it under a flagstone. I bury all my babies unless all that I find are feathers. It’s nesting season here, and I’m kind of distraught that a mate and babies might be left behind.
I am so sorry, they are so easy to love and it breaks our heart. It is nice that you buried the little one's remains. I hope that no babies were left behind, it's possible that they may not have been.
Very interesting about the pine sap they use, the tree you showed with the "bubbles" is a balsam tree, you can tell the difference between the balsam and spruce by the needles, the balsam tree will have just two rows, or flat needles, on opposing sides of a branch while the spruce will have needles all the way around the branch. Ive been fortunate to have gotten fairly close to nuthatches while out bowhunting, they arent overly friendly like a chickadee can be but they also arent flighty, they seem to tolerate us humans pretty well. Great vid Lesley and congrats on being over 200K subscribers!
Thank you for pointing that out to me. I do not know my trees at all and I really don't like that since I'm out there so much. I do plan on taking the time to getting more familiar with the trees and stuff. It's a must hahah. That is true about the nuthatch they will watch people and come around a little but certainly not like chickadees. Thank you, it's amazing that I'm here at 200k :)
These are my favorite birds! In winter I have a pair that comes down and makes their home in a pine tree in a neighbors yard. They come to my feeder daily until they head back north.
Here in northern Ohio we have the white-breasted nuthatch. They look like little penguins bobbing up and down on the tree trunks. One often comes to my feeder, and I have seen him do the raised wing tactic to scare off competing chickadees and tufted titmouse. Sometimes he will even turn it into a brief "dance", where he sways back and forth with the wings outstretched. But it only works about 50% of the time, as the chickadees themselves are quite bold!
I noticed the Nuthatches really like to peck on the metal hangers on my porch. They particularly like a decorative metal pot holder with a handle. Not sure why they're doing it but they seem to enjoy it.
I haven't seen the red-breasted here in southwest Virginia but we do have the white-breasted and I've made friends with one. I love the little nuthatch birds, they are so fearless and they can walk everywhere even hanging upside down like a bat. The cutest thing is when they hang upside down and then do their spread out wings and swaying to scare off other birds from the feeder. To me at least the friendliest birds I've come in contact with are a little white-breasted nuthatch and then I've got hummingbirds to the point they will land on my forearm while I hang their nectar feeder after refilling it. I need to get a good camera to get all these little bird friends on film.
Thank u so very much! I’m not sure if u are reading the responses any longer as I remember u said you needed to stop your RUclips channel. I was sad as I had just started to watch it. Anyway I adore Nuthatches. As a child I spent a lot of time on my grandparents property in SW New Hampshire way out in the woods. I grew to love their sweet vocalizations and their adorable movements. As I got older I would go alone as my family passed away and they would keep me company and from being afraid in the woods alone. My sister sadly sold our property breaking my heart but I’ll never forget my sweet Nuthatch friends. Take care Lesley. You are an amazing photographer.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it. I don't respond as often as I used to but I do try to when time allows :) After months of taking time off I've decided to come back to RUclips but not full time like before. There are several videos dear to me that I want to finish. One of them is pretty much done and will be up soon! By the way, sorry to hear of the property being sold. I agree that nuthatches are such sweet birds, I love them too. Take care
We have a sawmill and firewood business and this morning my husband and son were in the woods and there was a crow up in the tree and he was barking like a beagle dog which are used for rabbit hunting here in Newfoundland and Labrador where i live. So obviously he has been watching what the dogs do to get a rabbit going and he was doing the same thing and looking down to see if he got either rabbit moving! My husband and son were flabbergasted that the crow was intelligent enough to mimic a hunting dog. I wish I could have seen it as I love those birds.
Your videos are the absolute best...I'm not able to see birds... #1 where I live now, the house is situated where I can't just sit and watch...#2. I'm not able to walk, around very well...soooo your videos are just the best...I've been watching you for a few years now...also wanted to say hello😊♥️

Nuthaches are one of my favorite birds ❤ Thanks for sharing 😊

We just love them Once in a while we will see a nuthatch here in Illinois in the backyard. Not very often though. Superb video Lesley. 🐦
They are wonderful birds to see visiting :) Thank you for the nice comment
Yank yank noise, great, finally a label! Lentil soup's the best too but veggie style of course!
Glad it helped! And I agree, Lentil soup is great! :)
I LOVE the females talking, and the male's displays. My favorite bird.

I hear these guys everyday. Not just their calls but when they're pecking at tbe wood.
i scatter feed and i have nut hatch or two that come by. watching a nut hatch carry a whole peanut away is so funny
I love watching these guys go down trunks. They really act like gravity does not apply to them.
I love nuthatches. We mostly have White-breasted Nuthatches here, but I've seen Red-breasted as well. I didn't know they could catch nuts on the fly! These birds are SO COOL. Thanks for the video! :)
So glad that you enjoyed it :)
I don't see them often but when I do I am amazed at their climbing skills.
We have nuthatches come to our feeders. I love to watch the crazy positions they get in.
Thank you for a wonderful addition to my Sunday hoping everything is well in your part of the world
You're very welcome, and thank you for the kind comment and donation. Appreciate it a lot 🙂🐦
I'm so jealous of you and being able to get so many birds to feed from your hands

Heard my last Red-breasted Nuthatch in NE Oklahoma on May 3. They've all migrated north now. They begin coming back mid-September for the winter. 👍♥️

I have a nesting pair in or near my yard. I call mine, "Yentl", which is the title of the 1983 Barbara Streisand movie.

I have them here in central New Hampshire, and back when I still had a feeder on a tree branch I'd get raided by chipmunks regularly.

It just warms my heart to see these little birdie guys and gals doing their birdie activities.....😊
Great video! I’d love to see one some day. We have brown headed and white breasted nuthatches down here in Georgia.
I hope that you do :) I must say though that I'm so envious that you have Brown-headed nuthatches. I've seen a few videos of them and they are incredibly adorable.
I love these guys! And they're so tiny. Thanks for this video. So much great information!! Well done Lesley!!
We have a couple pairs up here they stay all winter they love crushed peanuts

I learned so much about these little cuties from this video! It’s so good to have your testimonial on their abilities.
I just love these lil beauties. You and Lentil are just special! You lil Bird Goddess, You!
I have one that comes to my feeder and flings the sunflower seeds around until it finds one it likes, then it flies off with it. I've named it Fred.
I've seen these nuthatches bury sunflower seeds in the moss on the ground.
I do enjoy your videos. I have never understood why calling someone a birdbrain is considered an insult. Birds are amazingly intelligent.
My Jenday Conure does the ‘open wing sway’ whenever someone tries to take a picture or video of him. He HATES cell phones and will attach them.
Hahaha that is funny, I think your Conure is a smart little thing. :)
These are my favorite birds! In winter I have a pair that comes down and makes their home in a pine tree in a neighbors yard. They come to my feeder daily until they head back north.
Lentil hype. These brave birds are amazing. They're squeaks and peeps every time I'm out there to feed is too cute. Great content, Lesley.
I like the little honking noise they sometimes make. They have quite a range of sounds.
The sounds they make sound like someone is playing a really tiny trumpet 🎺
Lentil?? You always pick the best names for your birds, I love it! ❤
They sound just like the ones I see in Southern Illinois.. They always make me smile
Oh my goodness, my favorite little bird. I watch them all the time. Thank you for teaching us so much about our feathered friends. 🥰
Hiding her seeds on you!!!!! Oh the cuteness❤
So much for the term "bird-brain" meaning "stupid"!

I hope that you are safe from the wildfires - and there's a safe haven for those beautiful birds you bring to us.
Well done Miss Nerd. I think the smaller birds are just a little bit more adorable. Hope you are well and for what is left have a good long weekend
Thanks a bunch, Allan. I agree, smaller birds are adorable. Thank you for the nice holiday wishes, I hope that you had a very nice one too :)

I noticed the Nuthatches really like to peck on the metal hangers on my porch. They particularly like a decorative metal pot holder with a handle. Not sure why they're doing it but they seem to enjoy it.
I haven't seen the red-breasted here in southwest Virginia but we do have the white-breasted and I've made friends with one. I love the little nuthatch birds, they are so fearless and they can walk everywhere even hanging upside down like a bat. The cutest thing is when they hang upside down and then do their spread out wings and swaying to scare off other birds from the feeder. To me at least the friendliest birds I've come in contact with are a little white-breasted nuthatch and then I've got hummingbirds to the point they will land on my forearm while I hang their nectar feeder after refilling it. I need to get a good camera to get all these little bird friends on film.
Thank u so very much! I’m not sure if u are reading the responses any longer as I remember u said you needed to stop your RUclips channel. I was sad as I had just started to watch it. Anyway I adore Nuthatches. As a child I spent a lot of time on my grandparents property in SW New Hampshire way out in the woods. I grew to love their sweet vocalizations and their adorable movements. As I got older I would go alone as my family passed away and they would keep me company and from being afraid in the woods alone. My sister sadly sold our property breaking my heart but I’ll never forget my sweet Nuthatch friends. Take care Lesley. You are an amazing photographer.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it. I don't respond as often as I used to but I do try to when time allows :) After months of taking time off I've decided to come back to RUclips but not full time like before. There are several videos dear to me that I want to finish. One of them is pretty much done and will be up soon! By the way, sorry to hear of the property being sold. I agree that nuthatches are such sweet birds, I love them too. Take care
LoL! Using Lesley as seed storage! 🐦
Nuthaches are some of my favorite birds. Theyre so cute and gregarious, and as your video points out, quite interesting!
Your channel is the best thing to see in the morning 🌄🌞 😍
My mother in law used to call them "upside down birds".
Imagine how terrifying those talons would be if they were the size of an eagle!
We have a sawmill and firewood business and this morning my husband and son were in the woods and there was a crow up in the tree and he was barking like a beagle dog which are used for rabbit hunting here in Newfoundland and Labrador where i live. So obviously he has been watching what the dogs do to get a rabbit going and he was doing the same thing and looking down to see if he got either rabbit moving! My husband and son were flabbergasted that the crow was intelligent enough to mimic a hunting dog. I wish I could have seen it as I love those birds.
I detect a Newfoundland accent. Thank you for everything that you do.
Your videos are the absolute best...I'm not able to see birds...
#1 where I live now, the house is situated where I can't just sit and watch...#2. I'm not able to walk, around very well...soooo your videos are just the best...I've been watching you for a few years now...also wanted to say hello😊♥️
😂 how cute these little ones are!!!
My brother is well versed in knowing the birds around him, me...not so much. Love watching your videos, seems the birds love you as much as you them.
I love your amazing content. Please do the mockingbird, one of the most fascinating birds I've ever encountered.
Thanks so much. A Mockingbird video would be wonderful to do, hopefully some day :)
