White-breasted Nuthatch

The white‑breasted nuthatch is a small, stocky songbird about 6 inches long, with a black cap, white face, chest and belly, slate‑gray back, and black wings marked by white patches. It moves by “walking” down tree trunks, feeds mainly on insects (also seeds and nuts), and emits a loud, nasal yank‑yank call.
