Brown-headed Nuthatch, Sitta pusilla.
Local permanent resident. The only records for the western Arkansas Ozarks are from a stand of pines at Fern, north of Mulberry in Franklin Country, where birds were seen January 4 and March 8, 1959, and in 1986 and 1987. A nesting cavity was being excavated March 7 - April 4, 1987, according to a report by Bill Beall of Ft. Smith.

Red-breasted Nuthatch, Sitta canadensis.
September 18 to May 10. Numbers present in the region vary considerably from year to year with very few or now seen some years. The bird is reported on only about half of the Fayetteville Christmas Bird Counts. The 15 counted on January 4, 1986, during the Fayetteville Count was a peak number for the region.

White-breasted Nuthatch, Sitta carolinensis.
Common permanent resident in mature forests and larger woodlots in towns.
