I love the positions these birds get into. Looks like they are doing yoga.
It is a small bird, just under 6 inches(15cm) in length. It has a black cap and beady black eyes on a white face.
They have a bit of chestnut colour on the undertail coverts.
The call is a distinctive ,nasal, yank,yank,yank.

We get them in our yard year round.

Sitta carolinensis
