White-breasted Nuthatch
Sitta carolinensis
If a White-breasted Nuthatch wanted to read this account of itself, it would likely flip the page. Why? Because we are talking about the “upside-down” bird! The nickname comes from a typical foraging pattern. Nuthatches tend to fly to the top of a tree trunk, and forage their way down the trunk in a spiraling pattern. Once they reach the base of the tree, they fly to the next and repeat the pattern.
