Day 194: Brown-headed Nuthatch

The Brown-headed Nuthatch is a particularly cute bird, and we had a great time watching a group of them a few weeks ago. They are small songbirds that can be found throughout pine forests in the southeastern U.S.

We watched several birds chip away at the bark of pine trees, digging for insects. They appeared quick and inquisitive, and did not shy away as we inched closer for photos. They make very cute squeaking sounds as well, that sound similar to a rubber duck toy.
