Their slightly nasal sounding beep beep beeps are one of the best sounds during our long winters.
This Red-breasted Nuthatch pauses briefly in the frosty branches before checking out the pine cone for seeds!

A red-breasted nuthatch perches on a very frosty spruce tree branch. He has an orange belly, grey/blue back and wings, a grey/blue cap and black eyeliner. There is a frosty pine cone hanging just below where he’s perching and he’s probably going to check it out for seeds.
