i haven't seen one of these in at least a year. they are a very good luck symbol to me. i always see their cousin, the white breast, which has been bad luck for me.
Good Luck!!
This is really special. When my birdfeeder was operating (and it will reopen soon, after I get my deck rebuilt), I was getting a lot of nuthatches and chicadees. They are aways a welcome sight in the winter because they are so busy and so pretty.
Nice shot. I don't think I've ever seen one of these. The photo does seem a bit "soft" in focus, but perhaps you had to crop the original to get this screen-filling image?
