Nuthatch–The Upside Down Bird (05/14/22) — Kingwood,TX —  Image by kenne

The Nuthatch is a common bird of deciduous forests and wooded urban areas. Known as the “upside down” bird,
it is often observed creeping headfirst down tree trunks while searching cracks and crevices for insect food.

A nuthatch’s foot has one big toe (the hallux) that faces backward, while its other three toes face forward.
