I have included a photo of a red-breasted nuthatch. They apparently often visit feeders for seeds but before I have always seen them going upside down on the tree trunks of the spruce trees.
There are oodles of hummingbirds. It is fortunate I have two feeders. They are very mean territorial birds. After feeding they sit close by on a tree branch and swoop down on any hummingbird that tries to feed. There are so many now though that at times there are two co-existing for a few seconds at one feeder.
THe regular feeder is also very busy. I had to replenish the seed yesterday and today much of it is already gone. The most plentiful birds are pine siskins but there are also a good number of house sparrows and a few goldfinches. I have seen a couple of immature purple finches as well, and of course the faithful chickadees.
This morning there were a couple of robins searching the lawn for worms or grubs.
