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!
