White-breasted Nuthatch photo by Larry Jordan
The White-breasted Nuthatch is the most widespread nuthatch in the Northern Hemisphere. You will find these busy little birds scurrying down tree trunks and around branches looking for insects anywhere there are deciduous forests. They are year round residents from southern Canada to northern Florida to southern Mexico.
My favorite thing about the White-breasted Nuthatch is that they visit bird feeders! These guys love sunflower seed, suet and nuts fed in a nut feeder like this one.
You can hear them anytime they come into your yard by their loud calls that sound like a “tin horn.”
If you have deciduous trees near you, chances are you can attract these energetic little birds to your yard and enjoy their abundant energy! Enjoy some other great Camera Critters photos too!

I have to say that the nuthatches are my favorite. I put suet dough into the tree bark knots for the brown creepers and the nuttys like that too. Great photos and I always thought their call sounded like a ‘yank’…’yank’..Thanks for taking the time to educate about nature…
@Lara thank you for visiting! I’m glad you enjoyed the photos
@Gattina over in Europe you have a Eurasian Nuthatch that is the counterpart of our Nuthatch in North America. You can see it here
@Michelle you are so lucky to have Brown Creepers around your house! They are so cool.
It is my extreme pleasure to educate about nature. I want to give back to others all the richness to our lives, we have found in nature and the wild creatures round us. I wish more people had the time and interest to enjoy what pleasures nature has to offer.
Larry: Neat captures of the nuthatch, they are such a fast little bird.
