Is that the Red or the White? The Red!

Did a little birding in Stockton today to see if I could pick up the Red-breasted Nuthatch that was seen on the CBC.  I headed over to the house on 7th that has a large concentration of feeders.  I used the iPod there and got not response.  I then headed up Ash just a block to the row of pine trees.  I played the song twice and then shut the iPod off.  Sitting in the car, I heard the nasally voice of the Red-breasted Nuthatch (#94) calling.  It flew and fluttered right over my head.  I tried to get a nice photo of it, but it then flew back into the pine trees.  I turned the iPod on again.  It fluttered right over my head and landed on a post five feet away from me.  Here are the photos I got before it took off:
