Thank you for your page, I have had feeders and watched my 'guests' for years and finally noticed that there appeared to be 2 different nuthatches. Your page answered my question: we do indeed have both the white-breasted nuthatch and the red-breasted nuthatch. West Central Wisconsin

Thank you for this page! I knew I had chickadees and thought I may had tit mice. I watched this little chickadee “kick butt and take names” with tit mice which are twice their size. I take it that the chickadee is rather territorial. This particular one moved around the feeder and ate at every port. I was checking the internet for confirmation that this larger bird was a titmouse. Since I found this page though, My question is this:I Live in Central/East Texas., what are the chances I will see a nut hatch?

I have had chickadees all winter, and I love them. Saw my first nuthatch today and was so excited. I'm watching now to see if I get more. (Jackaln, MI)

I have an all white bird medium size with a little light beige colour on the tips of its wings...it eats peanut along with the woodpeckers is around the same size flies the same as them but is not albino as it is all white...never in all my years of birdwatching and feeding have I seen one like this....help me name it..I live in southern Ontario and this bird came to me this winter for the first time.

Guest		10-Oct-2016 23:00
They are probably Juncos.

I put a feeder outside my bedroom window recently and have attracted a pair of what appears to be tufted titmice but these are almost all black in color. I'm just outside Wichita, KS. can anyone give me a clue as to what species I have attracted?

Judy		14-May-2014 21:57
We have seen several little birds thought to be chickadees, but upon checking it out I guess I don't know what kind of bird it was. Same size as a chickadee, somewhat the same coloring, but had a splash of yellow on its head and more yellow in the body. Never have seen them before in any area of Minnesota

Allecram		01-Mar-2014 14:43
What a great treat! The pictures are wonder-full! and can set your heart a flutter...Thanks for sharing them wit sll of us. I am in an Assisted Living Facility and our feeder is just outside our dining room window and the birds entertain us and keep us alert and inquisitive....all good attributes for us older folks. Again, Thanks and God Bless us all.

So much snow over the past few weeks makes it hard to keep all the backyard birds happy at once. I noticed my Nuthatch and Titmouse and Woodpeckers have not been around. I do see some Starlings more often. I feed them as well but they do treat the smaller birds badly. Feeding peanut butter and fruit suet along with a quality seed nut mix and sunflower seeds. Bluebirds are happy with the suet and I think I am doing well overall. What can I do to get my missing birds back? Is it the Starlings keeping them away. Thanks for any help.

Sherry		08-Feb-2014 18:38
I have a nuthatch that comes daily, enjoying peanut butter on pine cones. Lately he has been chasing the starlings away (yes) from my feeders and standing guard. He allows the smaller birds to feed with no problem. Is this normal behavior for a nuthatch?

Liz		14-Dec-2013 20:38
I live in Ohio and have been watching the chickadees. We have seed in a pan and the snow is about 3 inches and they just nestle down into the snow. One bird is different, it has a dark straited breast but is with the chickadees. I can't find what it is. Any help, love the pictures

bob		06-Sep-2013 21:37
I have several,what appears to be white breasted nuthatches around my birdfeeders, but they have white bands from their eyes back towards their body like a chickadee.they act like a nuthatch.my location is in southern maine. I have not seen this in the photos on line. Is my guess correct?

Shirley		29-Apr-2013 23:22
Beautiful photos, we have them nesting now in a bird house, wonderful to watch there actually pecking away at trying to make a bigger hole in the bird house. Thank-you.

Muskrat's Photos		27-Mar-2013 17:08
I'm pleased that my photos helped you ID some birds. Come back anytime!

Mike		27-Mar-2013 16:23
Just identified 3 birds here in southern Michigan. All 3 were on this page. Thanks!!

Kathy		03-Mar-2013 02:57
I love your pics!! Your pics helped me identify a nuthatch I think. It was a beautiful bird with the most beautiful color I have ever seen. I'm gonna try and watch for it again and try and get a pic to put on here and see if anyone can help me exactly identify it. Keep the pics comming...how can you help but not smile when you see them!!

Lori		28-Dec-2012 00:03
Beautiful picture gallery, some really great photos, super job. Thanks for sharing them, helped me ID a nuthatch here in WV.

Heather		17-Dec-2012 23:34
It's Heather from New Zealand here. I was reading a story set in Canada where Chickadees are mentioned and not knowing what kind of birds they were, I looked them up. I am so pleased to see these wonderful photos - and what pretty little birds they are. We have our own native birds of course, the famous Kiwi, the Tui, Fantails, Bellbirds, Kaka & Kea (both native mountain parrots), Weka etc but none as pretty as these. I've learnt something today - thank you.

Muskrat's Photos		08-Nov-2012 22:52
Could it have been a Ruby-crowned Kinglet? They are of similar size and forage about much like the Chickadees.

amelia		08-Nov-2012 19:46
I also saw a chickadee with a red hat like a wood pecker. It was right outside my window definitely a chickadee body actually a smaller than usual chickadee....just wanted to report it....

Muskrat's Photos		07-Nov-2012 16:33
Possibly a Dark-eyed Junco...but more charcoal-gray than black.

guest		07-Nov-2012 13:02
love your gallery. I have a bird that looks like a chickadee it is all black except for a white belly. started seeing it in the fall in uptate new york. It is very beautiful trying to figure out what it is.

THANKS!!!

Beautiful.

Guest		29-May-2012 17:09
i have a red headed bird in my yard. it looks like chickadee. but it has a whole red head rest of body is normal. kathleenschmidt4@gmail.com

Ofra Haza		20-Feb-2012 14:50
WOW! Love your Gallery! It has helped my husband and I identify some birds to our feeder here in Colonial Heights TN

Terry		22-Aug-2011 18:21
I have what I "think" are Chicadee's coming to my feeders. They enjoy my mashed peanut suet cakes and nijer seeds. But....they don't make the Chickadee-dee-dee-dee sound and instead, have a short, sweet twit or tweet noise. Do Chickadee's make other noises then other than the dee-dee-dee drill?

Kathy Poetzsch		16-Jun-2011 20:49
Hello, I live in central Maine. Yesterday I saw a small bird that I think was a kind of chickadee at our bird feeder, but he had a brownish body and a red head! He was keeping company with the chickadees, around the same size and shape as them. Can anyone identify this bird for me? Thank you, I am a guest here.

john broda		07-May-2011 17:23
i love the wild birds in canada alberta so much!lets really protect this wild life that we have! canada is such a beautiful country!

Guest		10-Apr-2011 20:56
So much to learn about these little guys! Our feeders are just outside the kitchen window. It's a challenge feeding the sweet birds; the squirrels want their share, too!

Jamie		24-Mar-2011 03:25
Jamie An " extended family" of three chickadees, two nuthatches, and one titmouse comes to my balcony to feed - winter after winter, and stays into spring. They do gain and lose members. This year the titmouse has lost his mate. (May he find another). The chickadees have been joined by another with an injured foot and tail and an aggressive disposition. He's getting better, and I hope he'll become more sociable. Because the little balcony got awfully messy from black oil seed, and it attracted larger birds, I now give the clingers hulled sunflower seeds. They are healthy and happy, and my balcony is a lot cleaner. Oil seeds are still best, I think, if you have a real outdoors spot for feeding.

Both the White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches seem to enjoy the black-oiled sunflower seeds that I put out.

Guest		05-Feb-2011 01:23
what do you feed wild nuthatches

Alicia Corlew		18-Jan-2011 17:26
Trying to identify a new bird to me. It has a light brown crown with white streaks up from white breast on the side of head, bluish gray back, stripes on tail. What do you think.

Chanda		03-Jan-2011 15:17
I have five favorite backyard birds and three of them are on this page! That's amazing! Your photos are exceptional! Thanks for sharing.

Muskrat's Photos		06-Nov-2010 22:29
I'm glad my photos have been a help in making an ID. Thanks to all for viewing!

Terry		06-Nov-2010 22:03
Thanks for the photos. I used them to identify the red-breasted Nuthatches that have started coming to my feeder. The white-breasteds have come occasionally, but I never noticed the red-breasted variety before. Chickadees are always around serenading us with their lovely chicka-dee-dee-dee!

Shirley Pratt		15-Apr-2010 12:23
I just had a black capped chickadee start coming to my house , although I have lots of bird feeders he would rather eat the seed off the railling on the deck, he's so funny and gives me great joy to watch him, he seems to come when I'm washing dishing and none of the other birds come there. I also have a natural sprimg that runs from under my house, through my yard that I'm making bigger, so not only to feed my plants but the birds have such fun in it; and I'm putting pea rocks in the bottom in it to keep the water clean along with a border so the sides won't erode, I'm so excited about it, now it's a muddy stream; but soon it will be a work of art that will not only will feed the wild life around here but also serve to water the plants in the yard and the wild flowers.Thank you for letting me talk with ya and for all the beautiful pictures and if you don't mind I would love to come and share with you about my yard and how that goes, God Bless and have a beautiful day, Shirley

Jennifer		28-Mar-2010 14:05
I used your pictures to identify the white-breasted Nuthatchthat is nesting inside the tree in my front yard. Thank you!!

Bob Cowser		01-Feb-2010 21:15
These are charming photos. Recently here in northwest Tennessee several black-capped chickadees visited our feeder. We had nine inches of snow, covering the grass of course.

Sharon Dow		28-Jan-2010 17:20
I looked on here and was able to identify a new bird that we have, it is the red breasted nuthatch, it has beautiful blue wings, and a delight to see a new one, you have done a wonderful job of posting these pictures.

Guest		22-Jan-2010 17:55
I appreciate your talent in taking these wonderful pictures. Now I can see how beautiful these precious birds really are! Thank you!

Sharon (Toledo)		10-Jan-2010 19:08
Beautiful pictures. I just discovered the black-capped chickadee at my feeder today. What a sweet creature. I'm retiring in May and, hopefully, by summers end, I'll have one sitting on my hand also.

Shelly B.		14-Apr-2009 22:51
I think we have a Tufted Titmouse coming to my birdfeeder- I thought it might be a young Blue Jay, but when I saw your pics, I'm not so sure. I'm going to keep my eye out for him now. Beautiful pics! Shelly in Alabama

Guest		04-Jan-2009 01:39
Gorgeous shots. We're in upstate NY where the chickadees keep us company all winter, providing we feed them. LOL Love all these little birds.

Bob		14-Nov-2008 21:32
We're in Northern MN & routinely keep our Chickadees & Nuthatches fat & happy. The Red Breasted only come in winter; white breasted are here year around. The Chickadees follow my Wife around the yard & 'serenade' her as she fills feeders. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures.

Guest		13-Nov-2008 20:21
What wonderful photos. I am a carver and love chickadees...love your pictures.

Guest		21-Oct-2007 01:23
Fredia from Georgia-What lovely photos. I have plenty of them at my feeders too. They are a joy. Thanks for sharing.

Guest		10-Oct-2007 21:10
We love chickadees here in Vancouver, B. C. Canada. They are here all year, and love the black oiled sunflower seeds which we put out for them in winter. Wonderful pictures

Ali Majdfar		30-Dec-2006 12:04
Splendid gallery, excellent shot. (V)

Down here, in Brazil, I have recently discovered the existence of these singing jewels of the Norther Hemisfere; I have saved dozens of pictures I've found in the WEB and have them rolling on my screen whenever I stop working for 2 minutes. What a great company! Thank you for bringing so many of them so close to me with your pictures. All the best!

Rena		18-Jul-2006 19:24
These are beautiful. A senaca story teller told me a beautiful story about them. I wanted to create stationary with several chickadees on it. Are any of your pictures for sale and if so, how much are you charging. Rena

KiloEcho7		24-Jun-2006 21:03
I love the Chickadees but other birds have chased them away when they come to eat or get water. I enjoy the pictures a great deal. Thank you for sharing them.
