This guy hit the slider just a couple of days ago and was in shock for a little bit. It happens frequently. If you get them upright and put a drop of water at the end of their beak and they drink, usually a sign they will be OK. It was chilly out so I held him for a bit then set him in the sun on the deck railing. 10 minutes later I saw him fly away normally.White breasted nuthatch BTW.

Good Catch MwH. We had one Pileated Woodpecker visit us here in Eureka for a few days eating Huckleberries growing out of a large Redwood stump. We had many Pileated’s at our fishing lodge up on the Klamath River near Bluff Creek. I’m 85 and starting to lose my memory.

Love the pics! We usually have Pileateds here most every day. Right now, it seems that they are only visiting my feeders once a day, instead of the usual dozens of times a day, so I’m guessing that the babies from this season are being shown the ropes in the woods behind my house.

Can anyone give me a brief description of how to post photos? I do it so rarely that I’ve forgotten how. I have a couple that I’ve taken recently. Some from vacation.

I’m glad your WB Nuthatch is fine! Cute little guy! Or is that a female?
