Sunday with the birds

Quite a few pictures today, so I'm just going to get right to it.

A Titmouse about to crunch down on a seed:



Apparently this Titmouse didn't like the taste of the first seed it grabbed:



A big score:



I caught this Titmouse just as it started to take off:



A few shots of a Goldfinch that spent a fair amount of time on the feeder this morning:







Welcoming a Chickadee to the feeder:



Watching another Chickadee come in for a landing:



But apparently that Chickadee felt like three would be too much of a crowd when a second Chickadee tried to join them:



This Chickadee snagged itself a pistachio:



And then kept a close eye on this bird as it approached the feeder:



Taking off with its pistachio while the second bird is otherwise occupied:



I'm pretty sure this is a female White-breasted Nuthatch; the wing tips aren't as colorful as I've seen on other nuthatches, and the stripe on its head is a bit gray:



By comparison, this bird's head stripe is solidly black, its shoulder feathers are a more vibrant slate-blue, and the wings have a lot more color along the edges. So I'm pegging it as a male White-breasted Nuthatch:



Another male nuthatch grabbing a bite to eat:



Finally, I took this photo of a male White-breasted Nuthatch during a rare moment of sunshine this afternoon; I loved how the light brought out the color of his visible eye:
