White-breasted Nuthatches are fairly common in the Chicago wilderness, but I have never seen any in my yard -- until last week when there were
two WBNUs that visited my backyard feeder. They have been absent through all the winters I have been putting out seed. For some reason, this pair made their late spring appearance (notice one on the cylider and the other in flight). At least one has shown up occasionally since then, which makes me think there must be a nest with young in the neighborhood. I would love to have WBNUs as a regular backyard resident!
