Hello Jim!
You've got a Red-breasted Nuthatch! A quick note about looking up birds in 
field guides: sometimes it's best to try the approach of noting key marks 
before opening a guide, because that way you won't be simply looking for an 
exact image match.
For example, your photos show clearly a red breast, a black head with a 
conspicuous white "eyebrow" and a black line that continues through the 
eye. It's got a thin, pointed bill.
When you go to the field guide, look for these *marks* rather than 
necessarily a bird that "looks similar," and that might help you for future 
identifications!

*The birds are happy, and so am I*
