Nutty Nuthatch on the Wall!

...You're the most spastic of them all! :D Hey, I'm only speaking the truth! Have you ever seen a nuthatch when it's landed? These cute little devils run all over the place! Up and down trees, branches, walls, birdhouses, and when they get a seed, ZOOM!!! Off they go like a shot! Unless they decide to chow down on seeds at the feeder, it's next to impossible to get a picture that isn't just an empty bird feeder! ("I SWEAR there was a nuthatch there!!" "Yes dear, I believe you. Really. I do." :D)

Steve and I call Nuthatches "Hut-Hut" birds...now stop looking at me like that! :D I'll explain! Have you seen "The Blues Brothers"? At the end, there's a SWAT team that invades the building that Jake and Elroy have entered, and at one point, there are a bunch of SWAT guys who rapel down the side of the building and they're all yelling "HUT-HUT-HUT-HUT-HUT!" (You can see the scene here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2quc-iQ96R0 and look at the time between :23 - :32 to see the SWAT Nuthatches saying HUT-HUT-HUT-HUT-HUT!!! :D :D :D) The first time we saw a nuthatch, both of us started yelling their proper name together! :D Now, the next time YOU see a nuthatch, you can enliven the experience by yelling "HUT-HUT-HUT-HUT-HUT!!! as they run around like the spastic SWAT birds that they are! :D
