"We have a whole new year ahead of us. And wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all be a little more gentle with each other, a little more loving, and have a little more empathy, and maybe, next year at this time we'd like each other a little more.” ~Judy Garland

Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis)
Chadron State Park - Fall 2023
These's guys are just the light of my world. While Pygmy Nuthatch are my faves of the bunch, theyre only present in the Western portion of the US and the family group around my station hasn't been seen much so far this year.
Red-breasted Nuthatch, on the other hand, have a range spanning the entire US in the winter, and in several regions they can be seen year round. The tiny squeaks they make while foraging gave them the nickname "Tiny Tooter" in my birding group, since they sound like little toy trumpets. The squeaks get even cuter when the parents and young are chattering together.
All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey's BBL. Permission to share images was granted by Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (BCR).
