紅胸鳾（學名：Sitta canadensis）是一種小型鳴禽。成鳥背部為藍灰色，腹部為肉桂色，喉部白色，臉部有一個黑色條紋穿過眼睛，喙為灰色，冠為黑色。它的叫聲很象小號，高亢還有鼻音。它生活在加拿大，阿拉斯加和美國東北部和西部的針葉林。這種鳥通常居住在固定的地方，如果食物短缺，則定期飛往南方。在墨西哥灣沿岸地區和墨西哥北部發現它們覓食的蹤跡。它們在樹木的主幹或者大枝上尋找食物，有時在飛行中捕食昆蟲。它們主要以昆蟲和種子為食，尤其是針葉樹的種子。它們在枯木上築巢，通常貼近地面。

The Red-breasted Nuthatch, Sitta canadensis, is a small songbird. The adult has blue-grey upperparts with cinnamon underparts, a white throat and face with a black stripe through the eyes, a straight grey bill and a black crown. Its call, which has been likened to a tin trumpet, is high-pitched and nasal. It breeds in coniferous forests across Canada, Alaska and the northeastern and western United States. Though often a permanent resident, it regularly irrupts further south if its food supply fails. There are records of vagrants occurring as far south as the Gulf Coast and northern Mexico. It forages on the trunks and large branches of trees, often descending head first, sometimes catching insects in flight. Its eat mainly insects and seeds, especially from conifers. It excavates a nest in dead wood, often close to the ground, smearing the entrance to their nest with pitch.
