Stalking the wild spruce cone.

 


A rare shot to a red-crested nuthatch stalking a spruce cone, a dangerous proposition

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, March 12, 2018.

Sitta canadensis

During nest building, the Red-breasted Nuthatch is aggressive, chasing away other hole-nesting birds such as the House Wren, White-breasted Nuthatch, and Downy Woodpecker. A particularly feisty nuthatch may go after Yellow-rumped Warblers, House Finches, Violet-Green Swallows, and Cordilleran Flycatchers.,
