Nuthatch (Family Sittidae)
Sittidae is a family of small passerine birds which has two subfamilies:
-
Sittinidae, which contains the single Genus Sitta containing about 24 species of nuthatches, which are found across Eurasia and North America.
-
Tichodromadinae, which contains one species, the wallcreeper, Tichodroma muraria, which is restricted to the mountains of south- ern Eurasia.
Its closest relatives are the treecreepers, and the two families are some-
times placed in a larger grouping with the wrens and gnatcatchers.
