More about the birds: Nuthatch

White-breasted Nuthatch
Seem to defy gravity when hopping up and down tree trunks, whacking gathered nuts against tree bark, and tittering away, nuthatch are some of the cutest and coziest little birds in NA. 

White-breasted Nuthatch will buddy up with other small bird species, such as chickadees and titmice, to form foraging flocks.

Pygmy Nuthatch have never been spotted roosting alone. They cuddle with other Pygmy, up to 100 in one cavity! So cute and sweet, I'm definitely going to need a trip to the dentist after learning this fun fact.

COLLECTIVE NOUNS: known as a "jar" of nuthatch.
