White-Breasted Nuthatch Headfirst

White-Breasted Nuthatches are small, agile songbirds found in woodlands, forests, and backyard feeders throughout North America. Known for their habit of climbing down tree trunks headfirst, they show blue-gray backs, crisp white faces, and black caps as they probe the bark for insects and seeds. This watercolor captures a White-Breasted Nuthatch clinging headfirst to the rough bark of a tree trunk, soft green woodland washes surrounding its nimble pose.
