There are some feeders on my deck that I have to step up on the railing to  
refill.  When I went out the this morning there was a Red-breasted Nuthatch  
calling softly and repeatedly visiting the suet.  Finally after about a  minute 
of watching, I climbed up and reached for one of the feeders. The RBNH  landed 
about 3 inches from my face on the suet, looked me in the eye and calmly  
chipped off a bit.  She must be an inhabitant of the remote great white  north 
with no recognition/fear of humans.
