Brown-headed Nuthatch Pair_J1F1939

With some species of birds one parent takes on the whole responsibility of raising the young from incubating eggs to feeding the chicks. But for Brown-headed Nuthatches it is a shared life.

Here one parent has found a sizable insect to bring to the other while he or she cares for the young, hidden deep in the cavity nest.

Location: Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, Va.
