Do they have specially shaped beaks for breaking open nuts? I'm clueless! Three clear Great question! Almost...Nuthatches are famous (or infamous if you're a nut!) for jamming the nuts they gather into small crooks and gaps in trees and relentlessly hammering them with their beak until they are cracked open, rendered unable to do just about anything let alone post on the Internet ever again! Whew, you think the weekend would be a time to put your feet up and relax. But in fact, there's always lots of things to do on the weekend.

It's still unclear to me whether some kind of offsite might hide more information about nuthatches, or whether a picture alone is worth a thousand words, or at least two at high contrast, and everything I could ever want to know about nuthatches could be garnered from there. |

Golden Lab, gold necklace, gold medal, gold bars. The blue is different kinds of fish. It's probably unrelated, but the post made by Pecan at the time/date on the site is this vanisher fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Nov 22, 2020

Animal behaviour has always fascinated me. The first image strongly suggests the word or concept "gold". |

I'm glad to see everyone enjoying the Nuthatch, as evidenced by my climbing viewcount and lower tier internet celebrity.

more falafel please posted:i'm getting lost in all these nuthatches! nuthatches can sure be tricky! best thing to do is forget distractions and concentrate on signs and symbols that a nuthatch is in the area imo stephen king maybe the wrong colour and too specific a type of aquatic animal to be of much help

I tried to take a page out of your book and referred to my daily spotting of a nuthatch on the feeder outside the kitchen window as a "success". She didn't get it. I hesitate to admit it, but I don't understand it either.

It's sure getting darker and colder. I wonder what the migratory behaviour of the Nuthatch is? I beat six but not five yet. In fact I haven't seriously tried five, it looks a little tiring. |

I want to be loud and clear right here. You cannot tango with a Nuthatch. Even the weakest poster is still much too strong for the fragile bird. You have been warned. On a more positive note, another success on my end as well--I saw a Nuthatch! I told my friend Tom to start calling his Nuthatch spottings "successes" as well, seeing as we have decided to brute force this new vernacular on the birding world.

Prurient Squid posted:It's sure getting darker and colder. I wonder what the migratory behaviour of the Nuthatch is? If you would believe it, most Nuthatches are non-migratory. It's a testament to their great strength and perseverance to not abandon that which they love. Though, honestly, they have no choice. If the chickadees aren't going to leave either, then someone has to stick around to keep them in check.

This is what you all refer to as a "triple post". If I had a triple post, I would put a birdbox on each one.
