Brown-headed Nuthatch

Brown-headed Nuthatch

Bold and inquisitive, this bird is readily approachable by humans. The bird is frequently observed using a small chip of bark held in its beak as a tool to dig for insects.

During the fall migration and winter, chickadees often flock together. Many other species of birds, including titmice, nuthatches, and warblers can often be found foraging in these flocks. Mixed flocks stay together because the chickadees call out whenever they find a good source of food. This calling out forms cohesion for the group, allowing the other birds to find food more efficiently.

We don’t have the brown nuthatches here in Alberta but they look cute. Hear the other ones outside my window. The gregarious Cickadees are always welcome.
