Wrens, nuthatches, and treecreepers are members of Certhioidea, a group of generally small but highly charismatic birds. One of my favorite songbird clades.

"With its quiet calls and dense coniferous forest habitat, this nuthatch may be overlooked until it wanders down a tree toward the ground. It often shows little fear of humans, and may come very close to a person standing quietly in a conifer grove. Red-breasted Nuthatches nest farther north and higher in the mountains than their relatives; when winter food crops fail in these boreal forests, they may migrate hundreds of miles to the south."

I had a wonderful winter day at High Park on Friday. It's always nice to meet a fellow photographer as I always learn something from them which hopefully improves the quality of my photos. Thank you to the lady who provided the necessary food for our fine feathered and furry friends. I was especially enthralled when the little woodpecker came up and sat on my hand even though I had no seed. I think it just needed a kind word. I hope these photos do our little friends justice.

BOTD: Brown-headed Nuthatch

"A small nuthatch of the southeastern pine forests. Found in pairs or family groups all year, it is often heard before it is seen; the birds call to each other constantly as they busily clamber about on the branches. In winter, small groups of Brown-headed Nuthatches often join mixed foraging flocks including chickadees, woodpeckers, and Pine Warblers."
