Brown-headed nuthatch

Sitta pusilla

Description:

The nuthatches, which may keep mates for several years and which sometimes have "helpers" (adults who assist in tending a nest), had this nest for at least two years running. Unfortunately, the nest was destroyed a few weeks later; it is uncertain if it was by a raccoon or predator, a storm or something else.

Habitat:

Jordan Lake
