Red Breasted Nuthatch

[buzzsaw]

We only get these guys as they migrate through, so I was happy to have two of them last weekend. This guy jumped up on one of my Cardinal perches (I only say that as I set the branch up here because the BG would work with a reddish bird)

Nice pose, buzz, with the bird parallel in angle to the perch, and the open beak is cool.

Nice picture, I have quite a few who visit my feeders, but I have yet to have a whitebreasted show up for some reason. The male red-breasted are starting to display to their mates and they are putting on quite the show now bouncing around with their tails straight up like a wren.

Beauty Mike, butter for background!!!!!!

Nice picture, you really do plan ahead- choosing the background color for the bird you intend to shoot.

Chance favors the prepared mind isn't that right Mike. Great shot.

Not always, but sometimes. I figure if its a setup, you should atleast make it look nice. I figure it makes my images or some of them anyways stand apart from others. maybe its working and maybe not.

Thanks, Mike... we'll said!

Thanks, Finn!

oh yeah, now I'll judge the image... I wish for a slightly better head turn towards me and some more light in the eye area.
