The White-breasted nuthatch family have become regular visitors to the backyard.
The suet feeder is just too convenient not to take advantage of when one is being chased through the trees by a hungry brood.

One of the nuthatch fledglings loves the water, and every time the family drops by, it gets completely wet in one of the hanging water bowls I have placed among the tree branches.
