Nuthatch on birch

by Albert Darmo

Gallery: AvianPosted January 24, 2011119 views10 comments
Nikon D300, Nikkor 70-200 + TC 1.7 @270mm. F/10, 1/800, ISO 400.

This Red-breasted Nuthatch was becoming more sociable and came close enough for this capture. Hope you enjoy the pose. Comments appreciated.

Like the classic tree-hugging pose Albert. Great exposure, details, and natural color. Nice catch-light too..
Well composed - Well done! :toast:

I like this one even better than your Chickadee shot and it was really good.

Lovely pose, light and comp Albert. This looks like it has nice sharpness and details at the size posted. The bird stands out very well from the tree trunk and the background.
