Brown-headed Nuthatch

Posted on December 14, 2021 by Linda

Brown-headed nuthatches are in the southeast United States year-round. They love pine trees. They sound like squeaky toys. They are usually found in groups. If you see one, there should be others around. They climb all over trees up and down searching for spiders and insects. They are adorable and I love seeing them. I usually hear them first with their squeaky sound and then I look up into the nearest pine trees and can spot them moving up and down the trunk and branches searching for food. You can sometimes attract them to your yard with seed, but we have mostly been successful with providing water.
