Pygmy Nuthatch
We were puzzled when a pair of Pygmy Nuthatches began showing up at our seed feeders, as we usually see these cute birds foraging for insects along the trunks and branches of trees.

Pygmy Nuthatches have the unusual habit of roosting communally inside a hollow tree in winter which helps them to stay warm during the cold nights.
