Brown-headed Nuthatch

One of the most commonly enjoyable birds in the area have been Brown-Headed Nuthatches.  They sound like a squeaky dog toy that just bounces around in the trees all day, and it really sounds quite silly.  Since it sounds so ridiculous, the sound of five squeaky dog toys in the trees always tends to make me smile.  Lately, I have been spotting pairs of nuthatches that are starting to dig out nesting cavities.  I hope that there will be an active nest by the time I leave the refuge!
