How does the nuthatch get its name? Nuthatches make a habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp beak to "hatch” the seed out. They are the only North American birds that also search for food by going head-first down a tree branch or trunk. Most believe they do this hoping to find some scraps the woodpeckers left behind.
Our White-breasted Nuthatch Field Bag is designed to hold a field guide, keys, wallet, and water bottle. These bags are perfect for birdwatchers, hikers, zoo docents, or your favorite nature enthusiast. Made of 100% hand-loomed cotton, all bags have a 1.5" black nylon webbing strap (adjustable to 62"), side pen holder, and back zipper pocket. Roomy enough to fit a small field guide and water bottle or a larger guide like The Sibley Guide to Birds. The bag's interior is scoop-shaped, making it easy to quickly grab your field guide before that bird flies away. Bag dimensions: 8" wide x 10" tall with a 2" gusset. Handmade with love by women artisans in Nepal who have been empowered to lift themselves out of poverty through dignified work. Fair trade.
