We spotted this white-breasted nuthatch searching for something. Jackpot, a seed that was stored for later! These birds can be found across much of the U.S. year round, eating a variety of insects, seeds & sometimes even corn (it has the juice)!

This tiny bird, the Anthoscopus minutus builds its nest from spider silk and plant fibres
It builds a false room in its nest,
it’s own chamber safely behind

Happy #FunFactFriday! This Canada goose here is using a technique called whiffling, which is a zig-zagging maneuver that helps it rapidly descend. Every now and then when birds whiffle, they'll rotate their bodies 180 degrees and fly upside down. (Photo by Glenn P. Knoblock)
