Sittidae — Nuthatches
Brown-headed Nuthatch, Sitta pusilla, is a passerine of pine forests in south-eastern USA, where it breeds. It is a nuthatch with a brown cap, a narrow dark line through the eye, pale cheeks, chin and underparts, bluish-grey wings, and a small white mark at the back of the neck. It is one of the world’s smallest nuthatches. It nests at the tops of short dead trees, and uses bark chips, twigs and pine needles as tools to pry open insects.
