Wow, whether the last picture shows walking down the trunk or turning sideways, this is so beyond human abilities (unless we cheat with some technology).

When you see a small bird darting head-first down a tree trunk, even at a distance too far to make details out, you know it’s a nuthatch. Their movements always give them away.

Nuthatches are SO. CUTE. I love it when they take a sunflower seed off to the tree, wedge it into the bark and then hammer it open.

My grandfather, a farmer in southern Ohio, had a name for nuthatches: “Ass Up A Tree”.

That was the step into air, just before deploying wings.
I love watching them, and I love their little ‘honk’, so distinctive in all the bird chatter.

There are two methods to avoid the headdown on the tree phenomenon: Either (1) Insert the rat into the puppet with the same orientation as used with other puppet propulsion units; that is, head goes into head, tail goes into tail, the parts in the middle then usually snap readily into place. As the rat prefers being heads-up, the puppet winds up that way too.
Or (2) Invert the tree.

First and last photos have so much charm, the first for the tongue and the second for that daring step out into the air -- straight off the edge! Great moments caught on camera. :)
