We get Titmice, but without the color highlights. Just plain gray.
Our Chestnut backed Chickadees have a bit of color.
As do the Red Breasted Nuthatches.
For me, the cutest thing about these Nuthatches is the way they chatter sub
voce. They have a louder call that's
distinctive. but when a small group are hanging around (upside down, of
course), they have a busy, very quiet
vocalization. Sounds like a family or group of old friends nattering away.
Doesn't happen much at a seed feeder and can't be heard at much distance. If I
sit on the little deck near the suet
feeder, I feel like I'm eavesdropping.
