Nature Walks – The Curious Nuthatch

Nuthatches are not birds I see on a regular basis around our lakes. But the other day, when I saw my new baby ducklings, or duck-a-lings as I like to call them, there was a curious White-breasted Nuthatch in the tree right beside me. He kept inching his way closer and closer as if to say, “Hey, I’m right here. Take my picture, not those silly babies”. But he was also playing with me. He definitely wanted the attention, but he was also being coy and as soon as he saw I was looking at him, he would go around the tree trunk. When I took my eyes and camera off of him, he would come back even closer to me, to make sure I hadn’t forgotten about him. He did this a few times before finally posing for his photos.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Enjoy all the little things that come your way. The little things are the things that matter most. 🙂 ‘Til next time.
