Hi! Lucky you, I haven't noticed that behavior, maybe it's something learned. Pretty cool sounding though! I usually just see them creeping on trees looking for insects, or going to the feeder! 

Am sure some of the more experienced birders on here would have some insight for you,

cheers,
Gary

Nuthatches behaving like flycatchers this summer.  Perching and sallying to catch insects on the wing and returning to a perch again.  Is this how they might normally behave?  Do nuthatches elsewhere do the same?  I had never noted it before; I should note though that I have never had the chance to observe so many R.B.N. before.  They are numerous here this year.
