I don't post them often enough,
but I love the Whitebreasted Nuthatches. There seem to be several couples around. This is a male, his head cap is black, whereas the one of the female is blue-gray.
Head and facial feathers
are very fascinating to me. Everything is so neatly and effectively organized on bird heads. Nuthatch heads are amongst the more interesting to me because they have such a unique head shape. All the patterns around the eye are beautiful to look at and explore. I am a bit sad that I did not see any of their cousins, the Redbreasted Nuthatches, this winter, but I hope that they will not be gone forever.
