Sleepy Nuthatch...

Photos by BarrytheBirder
This plump and healthy looking White-breasted Nuthatch spent between five and ten minutes drifting in and out of sleep while perched on a backyard bird feeder.  Even with several other types of birds using the feeder, it would close its eyes and drift off for short and long periods of time.   I went out to check that it didn't have a leg trapped and got within two inches before it flew off.
Please comment if you wish.
