About These Birds

Beautiful Nuthatch

The Beautiful Nuthatch is a vulnerable and strikingly colored nuthatch of montane oak and rhododendron forests in the eastern Himalayas and adjacent hills. It has brilliant blue upperparts streaked with black and white, and a rich orange-buff underside. It creeps along tree trunks and branches searching for insects and seeds, and is threatened by forest loss.

Bahama Nuthatch

The Bahama Nuthatch is a Critically Endangered nuthatch endemic to the pine forests of Grand Bahama Island, weighing about 9.95g with a wingspan of 13cm. It forages on tree bark for insects and larvae, creeping headfirst down trunks in typical nuthatch fashion. Habitat destruction and introduced predators have severely reduced its population.
