White-breasted Nuthatch -- Lying Down with Spread Wings


A few days before I took this picture, I had observed similar behavior from a nuthatch. Lying down on the deck, the bird spread its wings out on the ground. It was definitely a deviation from its usual behavior: Land, pick up seed, and take off again -- five seconds. I'm not quite sure what it was doing, but it made for an interesting picture.
