White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitte carolinensis)

 
                                                                                              Nuthatches are short-tailed birds that walk up, down and around tree trunks and limbs. and they nest in holes in trees.

White-breasted Nuthatches are common in leafy forests and also thrive in parks and suburbs with large trees.   They typically visit bird feeders for suet and sunflower seeds.

In winter, they often travel in flocks with chickadees and other small birds, and are found in southern Canada, throughout the U.S.A. and into Mexico.

The all-white face and chest, plus the narrow blue/black crown stripe are distinctive.
