This magnet features a Red-breasted Nuthatch who looks like he is taking charge! He is a very small bird with a rust colored breast, blue-gray back and a black eye stripe. His head and beak are very large in proportion to his body. The nuthatches are permanent, year round inhabitants of our part of upstate New York. They forage on the trunks and large branches of trees, often descending head first, sometimes catching insects in flight. They mainly eat insects and seeds. Their call is like a tin trumpet.
