I tried ordering one of your eco friendly hoodies but was told they didn't have them in stock! I couldn't seem to find any other LBN merch either so they gave me a refund. 🙄 Are they available now? I would love to buy one!
@Laura Draganflye Hey Laura
Very sorry that you weren't able to order, it looks like they are still out of stock, unfortunately.
Been getting a lot of stock issues since this whole Covid thing happened on both my shops. Hopefully, things can go back to normal in 2021, the only thing I can suggest is to check back often. I get the same information on the stock as you do, TeeSpring and Bonfire handle all the logistics for both my shops, wish I had more information :(
I was able to buy one thru bonfire! Not the eco one but still... Glad I got one and that I could help support you!
Ah I see, well that's just wonderful then. Thankyou, so much appreciated
I saw on in the spring in Virginia. Three miles from the ocean. Then I had a regular nuthatch. Now in June I have not seen them at all. I love watching them. I put out fresh nuts seeds everyy morning. At 0500 o'clock.
From Colorado Springs: this is the first year we've had the Red Breasted Nuthatch. Their happy chatter [reminds me of Bungees heard at pet stores] is what drew my notice. We have enjoyed the pygmy and white-breasted nuthatches for years and hope these adorable Red breasted become regulars.
Nuthatches are so much fun to watch! I never get tired of seeing them walk down the side of a tree! Their constant soft little chatter only adds to their charm! I was very fortunate to have some nesting on our wooded property last year, and saw the fledglings being fed! How adorable! Thanks for another great video! 😊
It's so obvious that you work really hard to make these videos, then to add the engaging charm of your narratives. New material from you is always a pleasure.
I couldn't agree more. I've learned an awful lot from her videos but watching them is very calming and therapeutic too.
Thankyou so much! Your comment means so much to me and I really appreciate it
Yes, there is a lot going on to create one of these videos every week.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd how long did it take for you to create such a strong bond with the birds where they have total trust in you? I noticed that the black caps seem to be the easiest to build trust with as I fill the feeders they nearly fly into me sometimes. The jays though are a bit more challenging as some can be extremely skittish especially with predators like cats and peregrine falcons around.
@@brogren802 To be honest I can't recall "how long" it wasn't really something I sought out to do, it all just kind of happened on its own. The majority of the birds you see in these videos are more on the "out in the wilderness" type birds and the only people they encounter are really I assume just me, so maybe they are easier to have land on my hand due to them not being so wary of people. I have also spent so much time with them over the years so that helps. The best I can suggest is just be patient and give them a lot of space and respect, all birds are different and have their own personalities, some will come to your hand and some dont and some never do.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd thanks for responding yes I had assumed that the birds haven't really encountered many people and that certainly changes the dynamic with how they perceive things. I was just curious. I go out every day around the same times to toss peanuts to the jays primarily and some seem much more trusting than others and I would love to experience having one perch on my hand. Hopefully someday they will be as trusting as yours are. Again thanks for everything
Hello, I live in Oceanside, California and I saw a red breasted nut catcher in my yard this morning. I don’t ever recall seeing one before, so I re-search them and watched your video. It was very helpful and I was so excited to see this little guy in our area!
After watching what felt like all of your videos, I fell in love with the nuthatches and their adorable little honks. To my surprise and utter delight, 2 nuthatches started coming to my feeders in early fall. I’m in SE Michigan. If I can’t see them, I can hear them arguing with the Chickadees. What an amazing little bird!
Well thankyou for watching it is very much appreciated.
I put out black oil sunflower seeds and suet every day. Yesterday, I had a white-breasted nuthatch fly into the glass sliding door at a pretty good clip. It was pretty stunned and, at one point, decided to take out a small kitchen towel to make a cozy little nest for it. After about 15 minutes, it still wasn't moving, and it was quickly approaching nightfall. I found a shallow box, nestled the bird in amongst the towels, and bought it inside. Every 10 minutes or so, I'd set the box outside, to see if it would fly. Just before darkness was about to fall, I set it outside and, finally, it flew away. Whew!!
We have a couple of families here in Calgary. They will take mostly peanuts from our hand. It seems they had two hatches this year. The juveniles sit flapping their wings waiting to be fed. They are like part of our family. Truly enjoy your videos
I put a tray of peanuts in my bedroom window every morning for the blue jays after learning so much from you about them. They come all the time, but once in awhile I can hear a tiny squeak and see a tiny tip of beak barely reaching over the side. Finally saw one and it looked just like this nuthatch. So cute!! Added bonus: Grackles are now visiting too! Thank you Lesley!
Lesley, I just showed my chihuahua your bird videos and he loves them. He loves watching birds when he’s outside and our small dog fence keeps him from running after them at the feeders. When he barks at them sometimes, they’re not afraid because they know he can’t get them😄
We're in South Carolina, and we were surprised to see red-breasted nuthatches at our peanut feeder this year. I love our resident brown-headed nuthatches, so having another nuthatch species visit was a huge treat. Thanks for the video, it was fun learning more about our visitors :D and now I know why they came!
Love watching these tough little guys year-round in northern Colorado.
I love watching them in Wisconsin they bring a different color among all the juncos and sparrows
And now I know how Lesley's channel showed up my feed.
In N W Ohio we have about 50/50 white and rose breasted. They’re surprisingly unintimidated by people and are visually striking with their smart lines and distinctive flight pattern. Thank you for the lovely footage and narration. Beautiful 😊
Thanks for sharing! and glad you enjoy
As others have noted, this is another well-done and informative video by LesleyTheBirdNerd--not that I think that knowing birds and imparting knowledge to others is nerdy at all. These are such charming little birds. During Winters in Virginia, particularly cold Winters, we would see Red-Breasted Nuthatches, usually just one or two, at our feeders. They seemed to like the suet cakes; complete with nuts, fruit, corn meal and of course, suet; that I would make for Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice and Downy Woodpeckers. I do not recall ever seeing them in the Summer though it is possible that some retreated to Virginia and West Virginia mountains at that time in the same way that some populations of Snowbirds would do.
Backyard birdwatching is one of the things I started doing this year while we shelter in place. The feeder is one of the few places where life looks relatively normal. You videos have been so delightful and entertaining and educational! I’m very impressed with your photography too. The slomo shot of the little guy catching the peanut is amazing!
I hope you can continue with the bird watching
and thankyou for the kind words
Keep going with it! Sometimes it takes time (like years due to migratory patterns) for the birds to realize you have a feeder, lol!! I started feeding spring 2019, and this past spring (2020) was the first year I had Junco’s. So it takes time for them to realize your a new spot on the map (per se) lol!
I’ve also used my birds as a dose of normalcy. They make me happy (and something to look forward to) now that I’ve grown into it. The blue jays don’t let you sleep in some days though, lol!
Very interesting, Lesley! I'm not sure if I've seen any Red Breasted Nuthatches, but we definitely have White Breasted ones here in the southern mountains of New Mexico. This last fall hundreds of thousands of migrating birds died in NM. Some were seen on the ground, looking for insects and they all seemed to be under weight for migrating birds. Since hearing about this, I was shocked and wanted to do my part to help them so I have set up a suet feeder and large platform feeder which I keep well supplied, along with water. It's been a great success with many different birds but one of my favorites is the Nuthatches and I'm not only seeing the adults but also the babies which were likely born in this area - adorable! I love it how they can march down the side of a tree head first! Thank you Lesley! A delight as always!
To answer your question about nuthatch migration. I am not from the USA, but I live in the southern part of Quebec, in a forest, near the Ontario border (just to give you an idea). Last winter (winter sept 2019-mars 2020), I started feeding birds, and there was a male red breasted nuthatch that came to my feeder. Since I had more time because of the pandemic and the quarantine, I was able to start feeding him on my hand. Now, its dec 13th, 2020, and I was surprise to learn from your video that lots of red breasted nuthatch had migrate. Mine didn't migrate. So maybe it means that he considers me a "reliable food source"?! If its true, then cool! The pandemic is not over and I am always glad to see my little friend :)
It is possible but I would lean more towards thinking the one you have on your hand is a year round resident in your area
I’m in Edmonton, Alberta and from what I’ve heard you say about the Red Breasted Nuthatch, we are very fortunate to have a pair nesting in a birdhouse. We enjoy watching them pop in and out feeding their babies and from our kitchen, we can hear the babies! We have a pair each spring. So grateful! Thank you for all your information!
We have a pair who regularly visit the Tooth & Beak in search of shelled peanuts. The feeder affixed to the windowsill contains nothing but peanuts, both shelled and unshelled. I’ve seen the nuthatches, both red-breasted and white-breasted, land on the perch, then methodically walk all through the feeder, carefully choosing which peanut will be theirs. I don’t always see them in their previous perch (one of the neighbor’s trees) until they arrive like little airborne torpedoes. The window feeder is one of those with suction cups to attach it to the glass of the window, but I have learned to never rely on suction cups. I wrapped dental floss around and through the suction cup holes as well as around the back wall. A Command hook is mounted on my kitchen wall upside-down, so I could tie the dental floss to the hook. It has worked well for the past 2 winters. Bluejays are the largest regulars to visit that feeder (so far) and nuthatches & chickadees are among the smallest.
Lesley, your voice and videos of birds, I could do this all day long!
Thank you for your videos, they are very comforting for some reason 🥰🥰👍
You are so welcome!
Perhaps it is because they are the most accessible of wildlife. Always good to know that life continues around us.
@@LesleytheBirdNerda long time ago I hung up my suet feeder they were alot of grackles ☝️
We have a couple in Concord NH this year. They are rare for our yard, but when we lived in another part of the city that was heavily Pine/Oak they were extremely common. An example of how important local habitats are. Thanks for your enjoyable and informative videos.
Thanks for sharing!
Leslie , you really helped me get through this COVID year . I just got into birds the fall of 2020 and am still learning a lot through your comforting and informative videos . Thank you so very much .
We live on the east coast of Maryland in the US
Yes the lovely and delightful Red Breasted Nuthatches. Thanks so much for sharing this informative share of them Lesley. Wonderfully prepared video .Enjoyed as always Irene. 💖🌹
These are some of my favorite birds! I'm glad I learned something new about them :)
I love these birds as they are so adorable and quick. They come to my feeder daily. I am in Ontario
I finally got a Red - Breasted Nuthatch at my feeders. I had many White - Breasted Nuthatch that visited my feeders, so I was happy to see a Red - Breasted Nuthatch. And they are so cute
We're in Sierra Nevadas and they've been here with us for 2 years. We adore them! They share food with the Juncos and
Jay birds. They're all wonderful together.
We have a pair of white-breasted nuthatches who have spent the last few months taking seeds from our feeder and storing them in a dead tree in the backyard. They also love the suet feeder I put up this week.
Yes, I see one coming to feed on dried meal worm. The majority of birds coming to my feeders in the mountains of Kentucky are Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadees, Cardinals, Downy woodpeckers, redbellied woodpeckers and juncos, and house wrens.
A pair of red breasted nuthatches have been regularly visiting our suet seed feeder here in Port Townsend, WA USA so far this winter. Thanks for the great videos, Lesley.
Very welcome
Hello Lesley!
I just saw a pair of these here in Northern Illinois! I have never seen these here, so I was pleasantly surprised to see one on my tube feeder.
He did not seem to care that I was walking by, just sat there eating!
I love what you do, and thank you for all of the lovely videos.
With admiration and respect,
Ken in Chicagoland
Thanks so much, Kenneth for the kind words. I'm very happy you enjoy the videos I put up. How cool about you getting one of those darling Red-breasted nuthatches to your tube feeder. Especially that he was perfectly ok with your presence. Such lovely characters they are. I hope he visits regularly over winter. Take care - Happy birding
I have my first two here, this year! I am so happy!!
That's so awesome! I'm really happy for you ☺
@@rivercrow8988 Thank you kindly!
Lesley! It's as if you were speaking directly to me! A couple weeks ago I put my retired Christmas trees outside for the birds; then last week I heard some unfamiliar chatter, THEN I saw a hatch similar to no others I've seen... It was a Red-breasted nuthatch!! I immediately thought of you and how you've talked about them before... Grabbed my camera, got a couple blurry photos and posted them to IG... I am so thrilled to see them... And the absolutely love the Christmas trees! AND there are two... They've been hanging around an old telephone pole that's been excavated by other visitors! I live in NC, so I am not taking this visit for granted... Thank you Lesley!
We have had several at our feeder in Northern Arkansas. We see White-breasted Nuthatches much more frequently and year-round.
I live in Central City, Colorado (in the Front Range mountains at 8,400 feet (2560 meters) above sea level. I feed mostly black oil sunflower seeds. Red Breasted Nuthatches are frequent, but not daily visitors, though I didn't see them much in the summer (maybe, with bugs available, the didn't want sunflower seeds). I think these are resident birds. I also occasionally see White Breasted Nuthatches.
In the last few years, we have noticed more redbreasted nuthatches at our feeders in Vermont, but this year we have had a bonanza! Last week I counted 7 at one time & regularly have 4 or so. They are reminding me of hummingbirds! I love these little guys who, along with chickadees, are friendly enough that they will land on the feeders I'm in the process of hanging up. We also love all your videos!
We have some this year in North Carolina. They have been coming to our feeders for the past 2 months for nuts and suet. They definitely blend in with the chickadees if you aren’t paying attention.
We also have our usual brood of white breasted and brown headed nuthatches. They are such cool birds!
Another terrific video, Leslie. Saw my first red-breasted nuthatch today in Southeastern Pa, where we've had snow, ice and cold since Wednesday. Glad you are producing a new video just about every week. I always enjoy them.
I live in N. Central WA state on our family property. We have a row of 40+ year old spruces, and I see or hear these little guys every day in the summer and they frequent my feeder in the winter. One of my favorite birds.
I live in the Raleigh, NC area. This winter, Red Breasted Nuthatches have been frequent visitors to our feeders. I haven't seen these little guys in my yard in several years. I hope they return next winter. Enjoyed the video.

Hi Leslie! I love your top notch birding & documentaries! I live in Western Maryland & the white-breasted nuthatches started showing up around Oct 2021…I feed my mountain-side backyard birds black sunflower seeds & provide them all nesting boxes & winter roost boxes. They use them!!
Ms Lesley, your videos ALWAYS amaze me!
Glad you like them!
It's nice to see the slowed footage of them, they move so fast. We live on the eastern slopes of the Washington Cascades, and with a platform feeder and a couple of suet cages we have three or four of them that visit multiple times a day. Sometimes I can hear them up in the trees while they are waiting for me to fill the feeders. A couple have even flown inches from my face while I'm filling the feeders. They are so fun to have around, along with the chickadees, Steller's jays and huge group of dark eyed juncos that also show up daily. Thanks for the work you put into these videos.
I live in southeast North Carolina and I just started seeing these little beauties a few days ago. They come to my feeder and hang out in the trees. I have a nice little community of birds that stay around and was so excited to see some new ones!
I'm in a little mountain town in Oregon. I had 2 Nuthatches come to my suet block every day until the beginning of November...haven't seen them since. I assume they migrated. I love your videos! I learn so much from you! Thank you!
Hi Lesley. In Southeast Virginia, Red-Breasted Nuthatches are a common sighting. They sing in the pine trees while feeding and, as you said, love plain peanuts in feeders. I really enjoy your videos. James
I have seen an occasional nuthatch here in Southern New Jersey! I hope by adjusting what I feed the birds I will see more of them!
I hope so too!
We have at least one red breasted nuthatch visiting our suet and seed feeder in our yard. Since I only see one at a time, I'm not sure if we have a pair. They are so much fun to watch especially when they pull out one sunflower seed from a mixed seed feeder and quickly fly away with it to an unknown destination!! Love these cute, quirky little birds!!!👍😍
Thank you Lesley for all your wonderful videos!!!
I'm watching this a year later 2/2022. I'm in the Jackson, Mississippi, area right now, and I hear several and have seen a few these fun birds. I love their squeaky call. Sooo adorable!
Love, love, love your videos!! 🥰
Hi, I'm from southern part of Wisconsin & we have these little sweethearts at our feeders all winter. I've had them taking peanuts out of my hand. When I put the bird seed out, they are the first ones to fly within inches of my head, waiting for the peanuts. I truly enjoy your videos!
We have nesting herons on the Island of Montreal (many nests are protected by elaborate wiring) some can be quite small, you don't get them in Nfld do you, perhaps they are only interested in fresh water! My mom lives in Halifax (she married a french sailor) and she is very fond of them here.
No we dont get them here, wish we did.
Thank you! How adorable are these little birds?!
Our column feeder is in a fir tree in Salt Lake City, Utah. Since October, we will see a solo nuthatch either take a single black oiled sunflower seed from the feeder, or it "skips" around the trunk and branches foraging among the cones. We attract a lot of sparrows and House finches which are more aggressive towards other birds, but the Nuthatch will fly up to the feeder and hang upside down under the main tray, avoiding detection, until it can sneak a seed and fly away. Have not noticed the frequency of visits compared to last Fall season. Lots of cones though. I need to try throwing peanuts at them...Great slo-mo footage!
Recently moved and our first time ever seeing the nuthatch, very fun to watch. -- south eastern PA
I live on Long Island, NY and I’ve had a red-breasted nuthatch at my wild bird feeder and suet feeder for a while now. So happy to know they love peanuts too. Thank you for all of the useful information!
Lesley, I am so glad I found you! It is so clear from your amazing videos and narratives how much you love our feathered friends! I normally have a white-breasted nuthatch but recently have been blessed with a beautiful red-breasted nuthatch! I live in western NC and have some hollow woodpecker trees on my property so I am super hopeful they will nest here! I can't wait to watch all of your videos. Thank-you so much!
A big thank you and hugs to Our friend Lesley, We love your videos..
You are so welcome
I absolutely love these little guys!! They disappeared about two years ago from my backyard. They are now back this year in abundance!!!! I am near Sarnia Ontario and have lots of feeders so maybe that's why they came back.
I have them year round at my feeder in Rutland VT. I also keep a heated birdbath that they really appreciate in the winter.
Hi Lesley, I love all your informative videos. I live in north central Ohio and I've been in my current location 5 years now. I have red breastfed nuthatch at my feeders every year since I've lived up here. I've had as many as 3 individuals in one season. They are one of the first winter birds at my feeders each season. I love them!
Lesley, love your videos. I have been a bird nut for 20 years. We live in the very southwest corner of Oklahoma in Medicine Park. This is the first year I have ever had red breasted nuthatches. I was thrilled! I know I have at least two but maybe 4. I feed black oil sunflower seeds and they stay in the trees around the feeder all day. Love it❤️
The nesting information was new (and exciting) to me. We have red breasted nuthatches here - we live on Mount Charleston in Southern Nevada. We have red breasted, white breasted and pygmy nuthatches and we see them pretty much all year long. Thank you for this great video.
Hand fed a red breasted nuthatch for the first time today, which brought me here. Subscribed on the spot! So happy to find this channel!
I live in north central Indiana. I see them and love them. Such sweet little birds with much personality. 😊
I have for the first time Red-breasted Nuthatches at my feeder in north west Virginia. love them!
Very interesting because I have never had a year where I have had more red and white breasted nuthatches as well as chickadees and woodpeckers (Downey & Red-Bellied) I live in the north so I don’t think they have gone south because I have given them a daily supply of peanuts and sunflower seeds. I seem to understand now why they have chosen this year to be frequent visitors and they are most welcomed. I have these better quality peanuts that they hands down prefer over the sunflower seeds. Their visits brought us so much cheer this unusual year.
I'm from southern NB and saw them all the time growing up, I love watching them climb
I live in Central New York, I just saw my first Red Breasted Nuthatch!! I have seen White ones many times before, but this morning I was excited to see a Red ♥️ I love your videos, they are beautiful to watch and very informative!!
Excellent video. Thank you so much for your love for birds. I definitely enjoy to watch and learn for you. I live in lower mid Michigan. I have seen many of these beautiful birds at my feeder. Two years ago at another location in Ohio around locations that are in more countryside and more trees. Thanks again. Chris Melton
You are so welcome!
We've had them in our yard along the NC / SC border since October. 💕
We have at least a few as guests to our feeder locations here in the northern catskills, usually every winter. plenty of the white breasted too. i love their colorand they are fun to watch. nice to learn something about how they live. still amazed that these and our other winter neighbors, survive through the cold. amazing!
Several are visiting my bird feeders this year, last few months, in Northern Illinois/Chicago area. Love their noises & so fun to watch.
I’m in Chicago and have a pair of the red breasted and a couple of the white breasted nuthatches. They just appeared one day around late September. I love them!
I saw one at my feeder for the first time this year in CT. I saw one twice, once in Nov and once in Dec. I was so excited to add this bird to my list :)
Yaaaay!😊
I saw a male today in Ocoee, FL. Flew into my garage and started hunting for food. Nuthatch's are quit fun to watch. I hope I see him again.
Love these guys and great video 😉. I love feeding my birds (year round) but when it gets cooler around October I start putting suet out. They love the suet along with the woodpeckers. This year I’ve seen 4 Red Breasted Nut Hatcher’s . And it’s true they do love the natural (make sure it’s natural) peanut butter. I should mention I live in the blue ridge mnts of N.C. Please help take care of our bird population, they really suffer when it’s cold and food isn’t abundant. They have to eat more in order to stay warm so they can survive the colder months. If you keep just a bird feeder full through the cold months you are helping decrease the bug population that will most certainly aggravate you in the summer, just something to think about. Also they are a lot of fun to watch.
I'm located in the mid Atlantic region (Dover, Delaware). I have a pair for the first time ever at my feeder everyday. They seem to hang around with the Chickadees. So enjoyable to watch !
My new home in Maine has lots of nuthatches, dead snags and aspen trees. So I'm sure going to be on the lookout for nest holes with resin around the opening come spring!
Thanks for all our great videos, Lesley. We live in northeastern Illinois and some years we get two or three coming to our peanut feeder. This winter they have been regular visitors. Thanks again!
These little guys are my faves!! Very friendly (now) and chatty!! They live in my pine tree in my backyard (I think). I sometimes stash peanuts in the old holes in the tree for them. I love taking care of them all year long in southern Alberta!!
I had a pair of these dears visit my deck rail (spread with sunflower oilers and unsalted peanut bits) this past September. They’ve been resident since. I have many den trees with abundant white-breasted plus hairy, downy, and red-breasted peckers. I have the joy of a yellow shafted flicker and a marauding young female Coopers Hawk nesting out back (no mates yet). What a joy watching these and other resident nut-eaters. Almost devoid of finches and sparrows here. Wheeeeee! Chicago suburb.
I just got my first of these little guys at my backyard feeder in Wisconsin this year. I usually see only the larger white-breasted nuthatches!
Red Breasted Nut hatches have visited my feeders in Nebraska. Thanks for your great work.
I live in Southwestern Pennsylvania near the border on Maryland. I had a pair at my feeders this spring. I was so excited to be able to photograph them. Thanks for sharing your love of birds with us all.
That is awesome!
I'm in far south eastern WI, I would see one occasionally at my feeders but now I have one everyday since Aug of this year!! Red Breasted Nuthatches are one of my favorite birds to watch and listen to!! Keep up the great work Lesley thank you!!
Yes they are up on my list as well, and thank you
Thanks for answering these questions. They do like my suet feeder, here in SW Virginia. You've given me some good ideas about alternative menu ideas! I live near a park with lots of old growth trees where nuthatches, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers make homes . Always fun entertainment!
I'm in central North Carolina and have a few that come to my feeders this season. What a treat!
Hello, Lesley! I very recently discovered your channel and am enjoying it very much. Your videos are superb, the music extremely well chosen and your voice is gorgeous. I live in southeastern PA and we have seen two red breasted nuthatches in the last several weeks - unusual for us! Thanks so much for your work!
Thank you so much! Glad you like them and welcome
Yes, here in my backyard feeder in Albuquerque NM I see a couple of them! Such a beautiful little bird!
My favorite bird. Central Kansas very prolific. Hackberry trees really attracted them to my yard. Now in South Central Montana lots around Locust and Ponderosa Pine trees. Will try to hang some foods for them. Thanks for another great video.
I'm lucky to see these Nuthatches in the fall while I am Elk hunting in Wyoming. Thanks for another great video!
I live in the NE corner of Massachusetts on the coast and we have a lovely pair that have wintered with us! Adorable. love their acrobats!
Thank you Lesley! Nuthatch is a favourite of a family member. I love the chickadee.
Love These Little Nuthatches !!! I have a pair that have been around for a few years that Feed at My Bedroom window and from My hand out the same window !
Beautiful photography. Love Nuthatches although I don't see many in London. But when I do it's a real treat.
I've seen these guys here in Northern New Mexico all year round. I loved the information you gave about nesting in tree cavities and the resin around the nest entrances. I did not know this, and when I learn stuff like this, I know that I'm getting top notch content.
We live in the Green Bay, WI area and have 2 that visit our feeders this winter. Not sure if they are mated but love listening to them and watching them arrive daily.
We had a pair successfully raise a clutch of 3 this season in coastal NH, USA. They are very tame and love the birdbath! I've also seen them regularly on the Suet this winter. So far, they've stayed.
Love these little birds. Here in Montana, we have several that visit our feeders for suet, sunflower seed and peanuts. In fact, some of them will take peanuts right from my hand, which is always an awesome experience. While chickadees (mountain, black-capped and chestnut-backed) regularly feed from my hand, nuthatches took a while to warm up to it. Thanks for another great video.
Love these little guys. I do see them in my backyard, as I have a mixture of old white pines, maples and dead trees filled with woodpecker holes. I am in central Wisconsin.
