Of the four Nuthatch species living in the United States, the most common are the Red-breasted Nuthatch, seen left here, and the White-breasted Nuthatch, on the right. The nuthatch’s insistent call matches its aggressiveness. As it works its way down a tree trunk, the nuthatch can spot—and eat—all the tasty morsels missed by the rest of the birds working their way up the tree.
