Further distinctions are that the Red-breasted Nuthatch has a black eye line and reddish underparts, and the Brown-headed and Pygmy Nuthatches each have a brown cap, and a white patch on the nape of the neck.

The Red-breasted Nuthatch ( Sitta canadensis ) is a small songbird.

Like all nuthatches, the Red-breasted Nuthatch is assigned to the genus Sitta ( Linnaeus, 1758 ), a name derived from sittē ( σιττη ), the Ancient Greek word for the Eurasian Nuthatch.

In the past, the Red-breasted Nuthatch and four other species — the Corsican Nuthatch, the Chinese Nuthatch, the Algerian Nuthatch and the Krüper's Nuthatch — were thought to be a single species.

Within the species group, DNA studies have shown that the Red-breasted Nuthatch, the Corsican Nuthatch and the Chinese Nuthatch make up one clade and the Algerian Nuthatch and Krüper's Nuthatch make up a sister clade.

The Red-breasted Nuthatch is monotypic across its extensive range.

The Red-breasted Nuthatch is a small passerine, measuring in length, with a wingspan of and a weight of 0. 35 oz ( 10 g ).

Some species have nicknames, for example: " RB Flicker " for Red-breasted Flycatcher, " Gropper " for Grasshopper Warbler, " PG Tips " for Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler.

They sometimes hybridize with Red-naped Sapsuckers or Red-breasted Sapsuckers where their breeding ranges overlap.

The diversity of birdlife is similarly high, including the beautiful and much sought Narina Trogon as well as species such as the Cape Vulture, Black Eagle, Crowned Eagle, African Fish Eagle, Gymnogene, Jackal Buzzard, Whitebacked Vulture, Bald Ibis, African Finfoot, Knysna Lourie, Purple-crested Lourie, Gurney's Sugarbird, Malachite Sunbird, Cinnamon Dove, Emerald Cuckoo, Red-backed Mannikin, Golden-tailed Woodpecker, Olive Bush Shrike, Green Twinspot, Taita Falcons ( very rarely sighted, a breeding pair lives in the nearby Abel Erasmus Pass ), Cape Eagle Owl, White-faced Owl, Wood Owl, Peregrine Falcon, Black-breasted Snake Eagle, Wahlberg's Eagle, Long-crested Eagle, Jackal Buzzard, Lanner Falcon, Red-breasted Sparrowhawk, Rock Kestrel and others.

The Red-breasted Merganser was one of the many species originally described by Linnaeus in his 18th-century work, Systema Naturae.

The Asian species Ficedula albicilla previously considered a subspecies of the Red-breasted Flycatcher, but has the red throat surrounded by grey and a different song.

Because of its large global range and its increasing population, the Red-breasted Nuthatch is rated as a species of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

The grasslands of semi-evergreen forest is also inhabited by leopard, elephant, barasingha or swamp deer, barking deer, wild boar, hog deer, bison, otter, Hoolock Gibbon, Golden langur, wild water buffalo, capped langur, pygmy hog, bear, grey-headed fish eagle, Pallas's Fish Eagle, Crested serpent eagle, Swamp partridge, Red jungle fowl, Bengal florican, Whistling Teal, Pelican, Red-breasted Parakeet, Black-necked stork, Adjutant Stork, Open-bill stork, Egret, Heron, White-winged wood duck, Rock python, monitor lizard, turtle and other commonly found species.

Red-breasted Blackbird has benefited from the more open habitat created by forest clearance and ranching, and is extending its range.

These are the least marine of this group, only Red-breasted being common on the sea.

Although they are seaducks, most of the mergansers prefer riverine habitats, with only the Red-breasted Merganser being common at sea.

There are also migratory bird populations of international importance, including Pintail, Red Knot and Common Redshank and, regularly, over 20, 000 wintering waterfowl, including Common Shelduck, Red-breasted mergansers, Eurasian Oystercatchers, Ringed Plover, Dunlin and Eurasian Curlew.

However, it is found in the Red-breasted Parakeet, the Derbyan Parakeet and the Nicobar Parakeet which are morphologically dissimilar and apparently very closely related among each other, though not to the Mauritius Parakeet or its immediate relatives.

It is similar in shape to the slightly smaller Red-breasted Flycatcher.

This duck was similar in size to the Red-breasted Merganser.

The Red-breasted Goose ( Branta ruficollis ) is a brightly marked, endangered species of goose in the genus Branta from Eurasia.

Among the species from these two genera, the Red-breasted Goose is the smallest at in length.

The Red-breasted Goose breeds in Arctic Siberia, mainly on the Taymyr Peninsula, with smaller populations in the Gydan and Yamal peninsulas.

The Red-breasted Goose often nests close to nests of birds of prey, such as Snowy Owls and Peregrine Falcons, which helps to protect this small goose from mammalian predators such as the Arctic Fox.

While wintering, the Red-breasted Goose feeds on grasses, leafs and seeds.

The Red-breasted Goose is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds ( AEWA ) applies.

As it is not clear to what extent the known population fluctuates in this species – as in other Arctic geese – and given the worsening outlook for the species as a whole, the Red-breasted Goose was uplisted from a species of Least Concern to Endangered status in the 2007 IUCN Red List.

They host many endemic and endangered species, such as Great White Pelican, Dalmatian Pelican, Pygmy Cormorant, Cattle Egret, Little Egret, Greater Flamingo, White-headed Duck, Ferruginous Duck, Eurasian Spoonbill, Glossy Ibis, Houbara Bustard, Great Black-headed Gull, Slender-billed Gull, Squacco Heron, Common Crane, Demoiselle Crane, Slender-billed Curlew, Black Stork, Red-breasted Goose, Lesser White-fronted Goose, Lesser Kestrel, Whooper Swan, Tundra Swan, Osprey, Pallid Harrier, Short-toed Eagle and many others.

It is also known as the Rufous-necked Wryneck, Red-breasted Wryneck, African Wryneck or Rufous-throated Wryneck.

The Red-breasted Merganser ( Mergus serrator ) is a diving duck.

The adult Red-breasted Merganser is long with a wingspan.

Red-breasted Mergansers dive and swim underwater.

The Red-breasted Merganser is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds ( AEWA ) applies.

The genus also includes the Red-naped Sapsucker, Red-breasted Sapsucker, and Williamson's Sapsucker.

The Red-breasted Flycatcher ( Ficedula parva ) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family.

It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Red-breasted Flycatcher.

The Red-breasted Sapsucker ( Sphyrapicus ruber ), is a medium-sized woodpecker of the forests of the west coast of North America.
