Week 7- Willowbrook Park

On March 17, 2023, at 1:53 pm, I visited Willbrook Park on Staten island. On this day, the weather was 57 degrees fahrenheit with a cloudy sky and winds about 6 mph. This picture was taken by the woody area that is further away from the park. In this picture it shows a White-breasted Nuthatch. The White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) is a small bird found in North America. It is known for its distinctive appearance, with a blue-gray back and wings, a white face and underparts, and a black cap and bib. It is named after its habit of using its strong bill to pry open or "hatch" nuts and seeds. White-breasted Nuthatches are common in mixed forests and can also be found in parks and suburban areas with mature trees, just like Willowbrook Park. They are non-migratory and can be seen throughout the year.
