When watching forest birds climbing trees, one common pattern stands out. Woodpeckers always face upwards, while nuthatches face every which way on the tree trunk. To explore this difference, Tim and Russell Laman mounted special wide-angle cameras right along the tree trunks in their yard—letting us see every detail of feather, claw, and bird feet as woodpeckers hitched upward and nuthatches zigzagged past.
