Brown-Headed Nuthatches

 A pair of Brown-headed Nuthatches hung around my back yard feeders for several days.  I enjoyed hearing their high-pitched calls which reminded me of my dog's squeaky toys.  I often watched them forage along the pine trees, pecking at crevices between the bark.  They were quite entertaining.  On one occasion I had my cell phone out on the back porch and played a you tube video of a nuthatch calling- within a minute a nuthatch lighted upon the porch railing, seeking out the source of the familiar call.  He was literally within 2 feet of me- I should have thought to have my camera ready!

 Thank you for dropping in and viewing my bird shots.  

May you have a wonderful Wednesday and remaining week!

Linking up with Stewart for Wild Bird Wednesday-

Thanks for hosting this series Stewart!!!

Red-Head & The Peanuts

The Red-Head went back and forth, back and forth.  Grab a peanut, stash it and repeat.  He ordinarily makes himself welcome to several peanuts when they're available. It seems as if he and the Jays compete to see who can gather the most.

One of his favorite places to stash the treasure is within the deep holes on the electric pole.  He pushed the peanut as far into the hole as he could.  He must have felt pretty confident that his treats were well hidden and would be there when he was ready for them.

However, one must be careful when hiding treasures, for we never know who might be watching and waiting for the perfect time to snatch them...

Ugh! Don't you just hate it when somebody steals your stash?!!!
(In this case, it would be easy to forgive such a sweet little thief)

Red-Headed Woodpecker and Brown-Headed Nuthatch

Perhaps "Nut-snatch" is more appropriate :)
