I have always called the little red-breasted nuthatch "nutmeg" because of the rusty color. Lately I was trying to remember it's real name, looked everywhere and finally found it here. I call the white breasted one "ping pong" because he is tubby and white and bounces around. I treasure them both at the feeder. Thank you so much for your help!

Came across your page while trying to figure out a new bird at my feeder. I was thinking in my head, it looks like a the white breasted nuthatches that are typically at the feeder but smaller and with a red chest. I googled nuthatches in Vermont and you were the first page to come up! Lovely pics and thanks for helping me out! Cheers from Williamstown
