Hi Sydney – I love your blog.
This afternoon I saw a bird climbing up and down a tree trunk, parallel to it with its head facing the ground. It’s belly was white and it had a gray back and I’m pretty sure the top of its head was black. Can you help me figure out what it was?
Hi Brianna! It sounds like your bird is a White-breasted Nuthatch. The tree-climbing behavior you saw is typical of nuthatches, who use it to hunt for bugs hidden in the tree bark.
