I spent a little time yesterday trying to photograph a Red-breasted Nuthatch coming to one of my feeders. I noticed that the bird dropped almost as many seeds as it successfully flew off with. I almost wonder if they do that on purpose so the juncos have something to eat on the ground below. Here's a photo where the nuthatch has a seed firmly in its grasp as it gets ready to fly off and hack it open.
