	Nuthatch
		The Nuthatches are a group of generally very similar small passerines found throughout the Northern hemisphere.
		The subfamily Sittinae contains the 22 species of “True” Nuthatches, and the subfamily Tichodromadinae contains a single species, the unique Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria, which is sometimes separted as a separate family Tichodromadidae.
		Most nuthatches are woodland birds, although a few species have adapted to rocky habitats.

		Nuthatches gather nuts and seeds, jam them into tree bark, and hammer or "hatch" the food open with their bills.
		The White-breasted Nuthatch is normally territorial throughout the year, with pairs staying together.
		The female, however, is in danger of having the more dominant male displace her from foraging sites, and she is more vigilant when he is around than when she is alone.

	Birds, Familiar: White-breasted Nuthatch, Life Histories of North American Birds, A.C. Bent
		It is a characteristic pose of the nuthatch, perhaps unique among birds, to stand head downward on the trunk of a tree with the neck extended backward, the bill pointing straight outward from the bark.
		Plumages.--[AUTHOR'S NOTE: All the nuthatches are peculiar in having a juvenal plumage that closely resembles the adult nuptial plumage and in which the sexes are distinguishable by the same characters as in the adult.
		The Nuthatch sings every month in the year; even on the coldest days of January he occasionally sings a few times in the early morning--I have heard the song when the temperature was zero; in February songs are more frequently heard, but singing during this month is still irregular.

		One pair of European Nuthatches, for example, lined their nest with 6,695 fragments from birch and pine trees, of which the nearest were 45 and 75 yards away, respectively.
		This behaviour may be related to the habits of several eastern hemisphere nuthatch species which use mud to reduce the size of the entrance to their nest cavity.
