Two Brown-headed Nuthatches perched on a thick branch against a soft green background. The bird on the right, a begging fledgling, faces left with its bill open wide. The adult on the left leans toward the juvenile, mid-feed. Both birds show the species' distinctive brown cap (more gray colored in the fledgeling), gray-blue back, and pale underparts. Durham, NC.
The squeak is back! After 100 years absent, Brown-headed Nuthatches are breeding in Missouri's Ozarks again. 102 birds translocated from AR in 2020-21, now raising Missouri-born young. A North American bird that regularly uses tools! #SmallBirdSaturday #BHNU #SqueakyToy 5/10/2025 Durham, NC
