Birds of California

  • Pygmy Nuthatch Sitta pygmaea

    Excitable piping peep-peep from pine tops, usually many birds at once.

  • White-breasted Nuthatch Sitta carolinensis

    A nasal, low yank-yank-yank, slower and deeper than Red-breasted.

  • Red-breasted Nuthatch Sitta canadensis

    A nasal, tinny yank-yank, like a toy horn, repeated from high in the conifers.

Birds of England

  • Eurasian Nuthatch Sitta europaea

    Loud, liquid whistles, 'twee-twee-twee', and an emphatic 'chwit' call from the treetops.
