The majority of the birds you see in these videos are more on the "out in the wilderness" type birds and the only people they encounter are really I assume just me, so maybe they are easier to have land on my hand due to them not being so wary of people. I have also spent so much time with them over the years so that helps. The best I can suggest is just be patient and give them a lot of space and respect, all birds are different and have their own personalities, some will come to your hand and some dont and some never do.

From Colorado Springs: this is the first year we've had the Red Breasted Nuthatch. Their happy chatter [reminds me of Bungees heard at pet stores] is what drew my notice. We have enjoyed the pygmy and white-breasted nuthatches for years and hope these adorable Red breasted become regulars.

After watching what felt like all of your videos, I fell in love with the nuthatches and their adorable little honks. To my surprise and utter delight, 2 nuthatches started coming to my feeders in early fall. I’m in SE Michigan. If I can’t see them, I can hear them arguing with the Chickadees. What an amazing little bird!

Keep going with it! Sometimes it takes time (like years due to migratory patterns) for the birds to realize you have a feeder, lol!! I started feeding spring 2019, and this past spring (2020) was the first year I had Junco’s. So it takes time for them to realize your a new spot on the map (per se) lol! I’ve also used my birds as a dose of normalcy. They make me happy (and something to look forward to) now that I’ve grown into it. The blue jays don’t let you sleep in some days though, lol!

We have a pair who regularly visit the Tooth & Beak in search of shelled peanuts. The feeder affixed to the windowsill contains nothing but peanuts, both shelled and unshelled. I’ve seen the nuthatches, both red-breasted and white-breasted, land on the perch, then methodically walk all through the feeder, carefully choosing which peanut will be theirs. I don’t always see them in their previous perch (one of the neighbor’s trees) until they arrive like little airborne torpedoes. The window feeder is one of those with suction cups to attach it to the glass of the window, but I have learned to never rely on suction cups. I wrapped dental floss around and through the suction cup holes as well as around the back wall. A Command hook is mounted on my kitchen wall upside-down, so I could tie the dental floss to the hook. It has worked well for the past 2 winters. Bluejays are the largest regulars to visit that feeder (so far) and nuthatches & chickadees are among the smallest.

We have a couple of families here in Calgary. They will take mostly peanuts from our hand. It seems they had two hatches this year. The juveniles sit flapping their wings waiting to be fed. They are like part of our family. Truly enjoy your videos

To answer your question about nuthatch migration. I am not from the USA, but I live in the southern part of Quebec, in a forest, near the Ontario border (just to give you an idea). Last winter (winter sept 2019-mars 2020), I started feeding birds, and there was a male red breasted nuthatch that came to my feeder. Since I had more time because of the pandemic and the quarantine, I was able to start feeding him on my hand. Now, its dec 13th, 2020, and I was surprise to learn from your video that lots of red breasted nuthatch had migrate. Mine didn't migrate. So maybe it means that he considers me a "reliable food source"?! If its true, then cool! The pandemic is not over and I am always glad to see my little friend :)

Very interesting, Lesley! I'm not sure if I've seen any Red Breasted Nuthatches, but we definitely have White Breasted ones here in the southern mountains of New Mexico. This last fall hundreds of thousands of migrating birds died in NM. Some were seen on the ground, looking for insects and they all seemed to be under weight for migrating birds. Since hearing about this, I was shocked and wanted to do my part to help them so I have set up a suet feeder and large platform feeder which I keep well supplied, along with water. It's been a great success with many different birds but one of my favorites is the Nuthatches and I'm not only seeing the adults but also the babies which were likely born in this area - adorable! I love it how they can march down the side of a tree head first! Thank you Lesley! A delight as always!

I put out black oil sunflower seeds and suet every day. Yesterday, I had a white-breasted nuthatch fly into the glass sliding door at a pretty good clip. It was pretty stunned and, at one point, decided to take out a small kitchen towel to make a cozy little nest for it. After about 15 minutes, it still wasn't moving, and it was quickly approaching nightfall. I found a shallow box, nestled the bird in amongst the towels, and bought it inside. Every 10 minutes or so, I'd set the box outside, to see if it would fly. Just before darkness was about to fall, I set it outside and, finally, it flew away. Whew!!

I finally got a Red - Breasted Nuthatch at my feeders. I had many White - Breasted Nuthatch that visited my feeders, so I was happy to see a Red - Breasted Nuthatch. And they are so cute

It's all about the peanuts.

Interesting. I've had really good results with just black oil sunflower seeds. No mess and rain proof. I will add some peanuts. Today my backyard feeder was overtaken by at least 7 Pine Siskins. Also today the Nuthatches are back. They visited about a week ago then left. At my front yard feeder there is a pair of Red Bellied Woodpeckers that visit daily. Their soft chirp reminds me of a squirrel bard.

LesleytheBirdNerd is first.

Just watched this again as a Red-breasted started using my feeders this week. 3 weeks ago a Pygmy Nuthatch started showing up for sunflower nibs in my feeder and comes multiple times a day. That seemed to attract the Red-breasted to my yard. The Pygmy almost took a peanut out of my hand. We'll get there ;)

I just got my first of these little guys at my backyard feeder in Wisconsin this year. I usually see only the larger white-breasted nuthatches!

We have a couple in Concord NH this year. They are rare for our yard, but when we lived in another part of the city that was heavily Pine/Oak they were extremely common. An example of how important local habitats are. Thanks for your enjoyable and informative videos.

Hi Lesley. In Southeast Virginia, Red-Breasted Nuthatches are a common sighting. They sing in the pine trees while feeding and, as you said, love plain peanuts in feeders. I really enjoy your videos. James

I’m in Chicago and have a pair of the red breasted and a couple of the white breasted nuthatches. They just appeared one day around late September. I love them!

Yes, I see one coming to feed on dried meal worm. The majority of birds coming to my feeders in the mountains of Kentucky are Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadees, Cardinals, Downy woodpeckers, redbellied woodpeckers and juncos, and house wrens.

Although you may have heard this before, these would make amazing elementary/junior high school "short classes."

As others have noted, this is another well-done and informative video by LesleyTheBirdNerd--not that I think that knowing birds and imparting knowledge to others is nerdy at all. These are such charming little birds. During Winters in Virginia, particularly cold Winters, we would see Red-Breasted Nuthatches, usually just one or two, at our feeders. They seemed to like the suet cakes; complete with nuts, fruit, corn meal and of course, suet; that I would make for Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice and Downy Woodpeckers. I do not recall ever seeing them in the Summer though it is possible that some retreated to Virginia and West Virginia mountains at that time in the same way that some populations of Snowbirds would do.

These little guys aren’t to common down where I am. Might be down here in the winter but I haven’t been fortunate enough to see one.

We have Red breasted Nuthatch as a regular visitor to our suet feeder this year, here in Queens, New York. During the quarantine we have observed 76 different species of birds in the neighborhood as we sit here, just 15 miles from midtown Manhattan.

These little guys love the hawthorne tree on the side of my house. My only problem is the blue jays do push the little guys out of the way. I need to invest in a few more feeders and another shepherds hook. We also have a few white breasted nuthatches too. The bird population is certainly thriving as is the squirrels and chipmunks.

I think these are resident birds. I also occasionally see White Breasted Nuthatches.

I’ve got a Linden tree that these little cuties seem to love. Some summers it has an aphid problem and I am guessing that’s why the Nuthatches enjoy it. You would never know they’re there if it wasn’t for the cute little noises they make. It’s a large tree and I estimate there could be 10 to 20 on it at a time.

I have many den trees with abundant white-breasted plus hairy, downy, and red-breasted peckers. I have the joy of a yellow shafted flicker and a marauding young female Coopers Hawk nesting out back (no mates yet). What a joy watching these and other resident nut-eaters. Almost devoid of finches and sparrows here. Wheeeeee! Chicago suburb.

We're in Sierra Nevadas and they've been here with us for 2 years. We adore them! They share food with the Juncos and Jay birds. They're all wonderful together.

I love in southern New Hampshire. This is the first time I have seen red breasted Nuthatches. I have several that come to my feeders ever day. They are such cute little birds and very brave. My going out and filling my feeders does not scare them. They will still come and feed while I am out there. The Tufted Titmouse and Chickadees are rather brave also.

Here in central KY, I see them sporadically in Fall, Winter and Spring. I live in town in a neighborhood that’s about 60 years old and has a fair amount of mature trees but they are not primarily evergreen or cone bearing so it’s a rare treat to see these little clowns. My sister lives about 12-15 miles away (as the crow flies) in a wooded area near a river and they are year ‘round residents.

When I lived in the Cleveland suburbs many years ago, I used to go out into the snow into the woods and stand there with my hand outstretched and full of safflower seeds. The little nuthatches would land in my hand while I nearly froze to death. I somehow managed to take a few photos of them feeding in my hand, too, even though this was in the days of non-digital cameras. I will have to try to find them someday in storage. Such sweet little birds!
