Nuthatch feeding Bluebird nestlings
I recently witnessed and photographed some very unusual bird behavior: interspecific feeding. A Pygmy Nuthatch was feeding some Mountain Bluebird nestlings. In this image, one of the bluebird nestlings is begging to be fed by the nuthatch.
I’ve thoroughly documented the behavior — including feeding and fecal sac removal — on my website here.
I hope you find this as fascinating as I have.
