wildbirdresearch will be back to our annual research on songbirds in only a few short weeks. We’ve been actively studying the changes in species utilizing a grassland restoration project. Every year brings a new cast of characters and often new species into the picture. The White-breasted Nuthatch is a species we’ve just started seeing with the trees on the edges of the study area maturing. During spring and fall, species that might not be breeding in the grassland/shrubland area utilize the site to feed on insects. These nuthatches are known for their climbing acrobatics, being able to move down trees head first. This ability comes from their elongated hallux toe that faces backwards, acting as an anchor. All birds are handled with proper permits and training. Never handle wild birds without them. For more information about handling, research, or why we don’t show how we catch birds refer to my first pinned post.
