White-breasted Nuthatch

Gallery: AvianPosted November 23, 2012181 views10 comments

Taken this past weekend near my home. These little guys (along with 100's of Chickadees) have made up 95% of the birds in my area recently.

Nikon D300; 300mm; f 6.3 @ 1/320th; ISO 320; HH 70% FF.

It's good to be back after almost a year!

All comments and criticisms most welcome.

Oh this is VERY nice. Great light. The pose is classic for this little guy. Would not change a thing!

Not the smallest nit from me - fine detail, great pose, nice BG and excellent colours with the moss.
