White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis)

            Best viewed large.

Lake Country, BC.

The white-breasted nuthatch  is a small songbird of the nuthatch family which breeds in old-growth woodland across much of temperate North America. Like other nuthatches, the white-breasted nuthatch forages for insects on trunks and branches and is able to move head-first down trees. Seeds form a substantial part of its winter diet, as do acorns and hickory nuts that were stored by the bird in the fall. The nest is in a hole in a tree, and the breeding pair may smear insects around the entrance as a deterrent to squirrels. 

The nuthatches constitute a genus, Sitta, of 28 species belonging to the family Sittidae.
