This is my warm season backyard co-manager. I have occasional visits from bluebirds during the winter, if it isn't too harsh, but I still miss this guy and his mate. #Bluebird #BirdWatching #Nature #WildlifePhotography #photography #FeatheredFriends #Birds #BackyardBirds #IowaWildlife

White-breasted nuthatches are like perpetual motion machines. You can catch them when they pause. But don't hesitate, they could be upside down and backwards in a flash.🪶
