6. Nuthatch spotted in OG backyard. We haven’t seen this bird  here before, but he was often seen in Morris County where we used to birdwatch.    He is sort of flat headed, with a grayish color and a black eye stripe.  He likes to hang upside down while eating suet, so he reminds us of a woodpecker or of my cousin Harold.  He has a strong pointy beak and he is rather skittish, so you can speak skittish to him,  or Yiddish if he looks Jewish.

Eurasian nuthatch. Ours did not have the reddish belly. The upper part was blue-gray.
