The White-breasted Nuthatch is a small songbird found across North America, particularly in deciduous and mixed forests. It has a distinctive appearance, featuring a blue-gray back, white underparts, and a black cap on its head. This bird is known for its unique behavior of climbing down trees headfirst, which sets it apart from other nuthatches. These birds primarily feed on insects, seeds, and nuts, often foraging on tree trunks and branches. They are also known to store food for later consumption, hiding it in crevices. The White-breasted Nuthatch is a common visitor to backyard feeders, where it enjoys sunflower seeds and peanuts.
