[EBB Sightings] Red-breasted Nuthatch in the yard

I have another new yard bird--about a week ago, I
surprised (and it surprised me) a Red-breasted
Nuthatch at the peanut feeder. I was taken aback when
I saw it wasn't a Chickadee, and then it noticed me
and flew off. At that time I didn't see any red on it
and it looked kind of scruffy, but this morning it, or
another, was back and this time I could see the red.

In past years I've heard them across the street in the
conifer, but so far this year I haven't heard them.
