This White-breasted Nuthatch looks directly at the camera as its picture is taken. The Nuthatches stay with us all year in Indiana.
We had heard this male Baltimore Oriole several times in thick cover near Killbuck Creek but this was the first time we actually saw him. Orioles prefer to stay high in trees where they build nests that are suspended from branches, like hammocks.
This bird has us stumped! It is a juvenile of some species. The shape of the bill suggests a seed-eating variety but we have not been able to identify it.
