Red-Breasted Nuthatch

On this balmy, breezy afternoon, I stood near the feeders with my camera poised waiting for something to happen.  I heard his "toot" before I actually saw him.  He is a quick little fellow and usually doesn't stay around too long.  But today he lingered at the suet ball eating tidbits before flying away with a sunflower seed that he would shell in a nearby spruce tree.
