yep that's our boy! makes sense. now that I'm looking at more pics.I think the picture in my book before just Did Not look like him...but they vary. I remember his beak like this:http://www.flickr.com/photos/stellaretriever/2125229720/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stellaretriever/2125229720/)

It could have been a white-breasted nuthatch, too. The red-breasted is smaller (4-1/2") than a chickadee (5-1/4"), while a white-breasted is a distinctly larger (5-3/4").

yes I think it's the white-breasted...I was probably just remembering wrong about there being any brown...the one in the link I put is pretty much what I now remember. and it was larger than a chickadee.and it definitely was on the trees upside down at times.:)
