Nuthatch

I saw this nuthatch standing very alert on an old wren house.  It then very swiftly began to peck away at the wood and came up with very small invertebrates.

John:  Very nice detail in the plumage of the nuthatch.  Background is very nice.  Not too wild about the wood on the right edge.  Maybe removing it would be beneficial.  Very nice capture.

I agree with Keith's take on this John about the wood on the left. Not sure if this is a crop or not, but also wish you had a bit more room all around the subject.
