Nuthatches will tuck food like nuts and seeds into tree bark or a crevice and then "hack" away at it with their pointy bill to extract the seed or nut. White-breasted Nuthatches and Red-breasted Nuthatches are common at bird feeders, which provides us a good opportunity to observe this behavior. Watch this one take a seed from the feeder, and tuck it away in the wooden deck rail.
