Nuthatches, much like Black-capped Chickadees, rarely stay still long enough to focus and get a decent shot. This one, not only stayed still for a few seconds, but actually struck a photogenic pose doing what they do best - hanging upside down looking for seeds and nuts.

Another excellent shot Harold
I've cropped, squashed & upsized your pix to ws 1440x900 & they still look good on my monitor. I just don't know why you bother uploading such good quality stuff in low def 4:3 ?
Excellent work never the less. :o)

So you had it tough hey !! A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss..... My gallery is here.

You got that right ... these little guys are always on the go. I've only managed one decent shot in countless tries. I love the pose you captured upside down on the limb. Beautiful shot that's clear and crisp no matter how large I blow it up. Nice piece of photography Harold. If you're interested check Here

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
