Captured this Nuthatch at the feeder with the canon 70-200 f/4L lens (zippy) and the kenko 1.4x converter combination at a focal length of 280mm.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

I also want to extend a big thank you to Richie (biffobear) for all of the help he has given me lately.

You had to be tickled when you saw this pop up on your screen Tigz. It is scrumptious.
Count B is a very helpful fellow.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Great lighting and color, Sandi. I caught a bird with a peanut in his beak yesterday. I will post it sometime in the next week.

What perfect timing Sandi! The clarity of the little bird is perfect and the dof as well.
I may have been tempted to crop off a bit of the lower area to let the nuthatch fill more of the image.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

So well done, Sandi. I should put out some seed too. You reminded me that it's time to do that.

You and your converter, along with camera and lens, are doing a really great job Sandi. You have captured the bird with great details and focus. I also like the composition very much. Excellent work!

Great action capture. Its best to catch a bird doing something besides sitting.
