I once rented a place in Canyon meadows for 5-6 years and every spring for a good month or so I'd get a very early wake up call from nuthatches hammering on the wood siding. After a couple years the homeowner re painted the siding to a blue colour from it's original brown and the two or three years I lived there after I had no issues.
Annoying little ####s for sure. I once went out there with a stick of some sort and when I turned the corner it was hanging upside down pecking away, it saw me and flew away which I attempted a half assed swing at it but missed lol
