White-breasted Nuthatch follows 'hummer' around...

 

This attractive female Ruby-throated Hummingbird spent most of this past Saturday being followed around by an immature White-breasted Nuthatch, which didn't seem to know whether it was as nectar-eater or a seed-eater.   The male (or female) nuthatch had no luck at the nectar feeders but throughout the day it became more successful at the nut and seed feeders.  By Sunday, the White-breasted Nuthatch had quickly learned that it was a seed and nut eater (see bottom three photos).
