Red-Breasted Nuthatch

[Paul Stensvaag]

A couple of years ago mid-summer, I off-handedly mentioned resident RBNs frequenting the feeders.  That person remarked that this is unusual and somewhat rare in northern Illinois.  As of this morning, the RBN pair continue to visit the feeders.  I wonder about the likelihood of them sticking around this Summer (and Winter!) again. 

Cheers!
