The brown-headed nuthatch is restricted to the pine forests of the southeastern states. The population of the nuthatch is declining, due to urbanization and deforestation. The nuthatches require pinewoods and dead trees for the food and habitat. Also, if a nuthatch attempts to nest in a birdhouse that has the traditional larger opening of a 1.5 inch diameter, it will usually be forced out by larger birds such as bluebirds.
