I believe this is a nuthatch

Above is a picture of what I believe is a nuthatch that was looking for food in my front yard. I used my new camera with a telephoto lens to get this picture. It's kind of unusual to see a bird that isn't a sparrow around here. I feed the birds but I don't get much variety.

Speaking of feeding birds, my dog Jessie loves to eat birdseed. I think I figured out that she likes the cracked corn in the feed, but it's too hard to pick out so she just eats all the bird seed. This is disgusting, but it comes out when she goes to the bathroom. From what I've seen, bird seed is not digestible by dogs . . .
