A white-breasted nuthatch holds fast to the edge of a suet bird feeder, looking up and away in a dramatic manner. It is lit strongly by sunshine.
Proud Merp. #birds #HellYeahNuthatches

A white-breasted nuthatch, in tones of white, black and steely blue-grey, clings to the side of a hanging log suet feeder. It looks at the camera and gobbles up food with its beak wide open.
Same deal, just much closer and grosser.
Merp, my uncouth resident nuthatch, chewing with his mouth open while I try to work on the other side of the window. #birds #HellYeahNuthatches

Painterly digital illustration of a red-breasted nuthatch, clinging upside down to a cluster of pine cones. The word BEEP is emanating from its bill.
It’s been a low time in this household of late, but I was buoyed by a recent weekend bevy of #BirbFest nuthatches. And while I’m not active in #BirbFest2026, it’s made my feed a wonderful space. Here’s a repeat nuthatch of mine from 2024 – and then a slew of other folks’ #HellYeahNuthatches.

Got to watch our little nuthatch being industrious this morning. I hope our neighbors like seeds under their shingles. #HellYeahNuthatches

A white-breasted nuthatch named Merp positioned sideways and gripping lightly on a hanging log bird feeder.
For the #ArtAdventCalendar, it’s your daily Merp!
Merp was busy in the suet all day as light snow fell, popping in and out as I worked near the window. Here’s Merp saying screw you, gravity.

A white-breasted nuthatch, viewed directly from above (except the bird is on its side). This bird’s got everything: steel blue back, crisp black cap, white cheeks, snub of a tail.

My famiy got me a Birdfy feeder-cam jobbie for my birthday in October and while it won’t handle deep winter temperatures, it’s been fun to watch for this brief bit of fall. Mostly squirrel butts, but sometimes also gold like this. #HellYeahNuthatches #birds 🪶

Red-breasted nuthatch, upside down as is the rule, on a tree trunk.
For years I was an owl junkie, then a sandpiper nut. More recently, a sparrow stan. But nuthatches are now number one in my books. #HellYeahNuthatches #birds
