White-breasted Nuthatches are very common in the
eastern Unites States and are often seen creeping on tree trunks, downward
and headfirst. They seem to remain in pairs year-round, even in the
dead of winter. They tend to remain in their territories although they
often join mixed flocks of chickadees, woodpeckers, and kinglets. They
are familiar visitors to bird feeders.
Their call is a nasal yank-yank with a song a series
of low whistled notes.
They are largely resident from British Columbia, Ontario,
and Nova Scotia south to southern California, Arizona, the Gulf Coast, and
central Florida. However they are absent from the Great Plains.
