White-breasted nuthatch, climbing down a tree trunk, upside down

Mar 22nd, 2011, by Alex Zorach

This white-breasted nuthatch was climbing on a tree near Ivy Apartments on Waterworks Lane in Newark, Delaware.

White-breasted nuthatches, like other nuthatches, have a habit of feeding while climbing downward along tree trunks, often orienting themselves upside-down for most of the journey.
