Unlike woodpeckers, nuthatches walk around on trees always facing the direction they are walking. (Woodpeckers always face up, even when they are going down,) Because of this ability, my carved nuthatches can be more easily posed on interesting pieces of wood. This wall hanging, made from American chestnut and lyptus woods, is 17 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and about 5 1/2 inches deep.
