Pygmy Nuthatches are tiny birds, only 4 1/4 inches tip to tail, that crawl around on branches and are often seen feeding upside down or walking down tree trunks in search of food. An interesting thing I read was that they breed communally in groups of two to five consisting of a mated pair with unmated male helpers!
While these aren't Nuthatches, they do have wings. They flew over me as I started up the river trail this morning.
Working upside down
Walking down the tree trunk
This one flew out from the tree and caught some type of insect and took it back to the tree where it had a feast.
