"Red-breasted Nuthatches (Sitta canadensis) migrate southward earlier than many irruptive species. They may begin in early July and may reach their southernmost point by September or October."
An intense bundle of energy at your feeder, Red-breasted Nuthatches are tiny, active birds of north woods and western mountains. These long-billed, short-tailed songbirds travel through tree canopies with chickadees, kinglets, and woodpeckers but stick to tree trunks and branches, where they search bark furrows for hidden insects. Their excitable yank-yank calls sound like tiny tin horns being honked in the treetops.
A red-breasted nuthatch gives me the "sup?". A black-capped chickadee looks like it's posing for the photo. A red-winged blackbird looks scrungly. And a dark-eyed junco eyes its next seed delivery.

Help me…I need to find a support group for Woodworking Anonymous. I CANNOT STOP making these wild #songbird Nesting Boxes. This one is for #Chickadees, #Wrens or #Nuthatches and is being donated to my firefighter neighbor across the street for his forested yard.
This one is made of Cedar, which is crap wood for this, way too soft, my previous boxes were redwood.
All kidding aside, making these is a great #distraction from the chaos that is each day now.
