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.
Algerian Nuthatch
The Algerian Nuthatch is an endangered nuthatch weighing about 17 g with a wingspan near 17 cm, discovered in 1975 and endemic to a few small forest patches in northeastern Algeria. It clings to tree trunks and branches in typical nuthatch fashion, probing bark for insects and seeds.
