White-breasted Nuthatch

Thanks James. When I added it yesterday I wasn't paying attention because they are definitely 2 similar yet very different looking birds, between their size, markings and sounds...I'm pretty thankful I get to see both every day :o) Happy New Year!!

Hear is the link for the Red-breastes Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis)... http://allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-breas...
Notice the black line through the eye and the much redder breast. Listen to it's song and compare it to that of the White-breasted. Keep your eyes and ears open around your feeders because this has been a good year for the Red-breasted Nuthatch. Good chance you may see one. Good birding to you!

Thanks James I'll correct it, they are in my yard every day all day. I love their little chirps and sounds.

This is a white- breasted nuthatch
