Non-descript, diminutive, sleek, elusive, and fast all
describe the Brown Headed Nuthatch yet for such a small bird they are chocked
full of personality. Who says brown is boring?
When I arrived home from an outing, I stood and watched one
that was back and forth to the feeder. It
would grab a seed then up to the tree.
As I watched it time and time again going to the feeder, I realized it
was the safflower seed that it was getting each time. Sometimes it would take it up to the tree and
with several strikes get it open and eat.
Other times, it would go to one particular branch then quickly back to
the feeder.
After several visits to this one particular branch, I
realized it was stashing the seeds in a hollow spot. It made me wonder will it really remember
where it put the seeds or will they just become lost seeds.
