Have any of you ever seen a Red-breasted Nuthatch just hang upside down 
on a feeder perch and not want to move? I haven't. See the message below 
for details and this link for a photo:

I know these birds feed upside down on trees, but have never seen this
behavior on my feeders before. The bird hung upside down on the feeder,
doing nothing. When I approached (I thought it might be hurt) it
reluctantly flew to a nearby tree. Warming in the sun, maybe? Curious what
people think. Photo here:
