Sitta canadensis
- langka
- 55 km/h
- Risiko rendah
Tiny, tin-horn voice — sounds like a kazoo wedged in a conifer. Daubs nest holes with sap to keep ants out.
- Populasi
- Population size not precisely quantified (described as "extremely large"), but confirmed increasing trend (~137% increase over the last 40 years in North America)
- Habitat
- Coniferous and mixed conifer forests, especially spruce, fir, and pine; also subalpine forests, and in migration/irruption years a broader range of wooded habitats including parks and gardens
- Fakta menarik
- Red-breasted Nuthatches apply sticky conifer resin around their nest cavity entrance — sometimes using a piece of bark as an applicator tool — likely to deter predators and competitors from entering.
- Sebaran
- Breeds across boreal Canada and Alaska, the northeastern United States, and western U.S. mountain ranges; winters more widely across the U.S. and Mexico, with irregular irruptions south to the Gulf Coast; rare vagrant to Iceland and the United Kingdom
- Makanan
- Insects and spiders (especially in breeding season, gleaned from bark crevices; occasionally caught in flight), shifting to conifer seeds in fall/winter; readily takes sunflower seeds, suet, and peanut butter at feeders
