Just a little red breasted nuthatch sitting on a ledge. Here's a bit of info on them from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology if you're interested:
"The Red-breasted Nuthatch collects resin globules from coniferous trees and plasters them around the entrance of its nest hole. It may carry the resin in its bill or on pieces of bark that it uses as an applicator. The male puts the resin primarily around the outside of the hole while the female puts it around the inside. The resin may help to keep out predators or competitors. The nuthatch avoids the resin by diving directly through the hole."
Beautiful capture Anne. They are the main type around my home, the white ones are a scarce commodity. I had these guys nest in a bijrdhouse outside my window one year and have a bunch of resin still around the hole!
