Today in #MyWildlife:

I am not zoomed in— I’m standing 6 inches away while these Pygmy Nuthatches take turns at the peanut buffet.

Weighing in at a whopping 0.37 oz, these brave & gravity-defying tiny birds are likely caching these for winter.

Such a treat to watch this Pygmy nuthatch build its nest on my last visit to Truckee. I wonder if I’ll see the babies on my next visit?

Hey friends! I have something odd to share. Last year on August, I found a rlly cute #bird. I looked into what it could be, and pulled up the #pygmynuthatch. I live nowhere near their native range, though. Any ideas?
