Description

Always on the move, the Pygmy nuthatch (Sitta pygmaea) is one of the more energetic native song birds of the Grand Canyon. It is identified by its blue-grey color on the dorsal side, and a well-defined greyish crown. The chest and belly are puffy white, their bill, straight and sharp. Walking through the Ponderosa pine forest, you may see them digging into the crevices of the vanilla-scented conifers. Take a Minute Out In It to appreciate how hard it was to get a minute of this bird in the camera frame!
