In the backyard.
Watching a #flicker grabbing a bunch of suet from the feeder. Usual habit. It grabs some and the goes to a nearby tree and stashes some/all under the bark.
Then a couple of #nuthatches fly over to the same spot and start digging out the flicker's stash.
Then the flicker comes and chases them off.
Quite amusing to watch.
Sorry, no pictures of this.
Love that classic nuthatch pose.

"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.
