Description
The Red-Breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) is a small songbird with blue-gray upperparts, rusty orange underparts, white face, black eye stripe, and a black crown. It measures about 4.5 inches in length and about 0.35 ounces in weight. It breeds in the Northeastern and Western United States, Alaska, and Canada in coniferous forests (particularly spruce and fir), and may migrate southwards depending on food supplies available. It feeds by gleaning insects from bark crevices on tree trunks and branches, usually climbing downwards headfirst. It also eats seeds from conifers.
This Red-Breasted Nuthatch perched on a tree trunk was photographed at the Magee Marsh in Ohio in the late afternoon on 5-11-2021. Magee Marsh is located east of Toledo, Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie, and is a major stopover of migrating warblers during spring migration. I used a Nikon D850 camera body and a Nikon 500mm f/5.6 PF VR lens to capture this image. Settings: 1/2000 sec, f/6.3, ISO 2500.
