Great catch! I can never get these guys in the open.
Love everything about it - the pose, detail, moss and lichen, BG.
Excellent!

You gotta love nuthatches, I know I do! You don't get a much cleaner shot of them as this. Just a great photo.

Beauty. Nice pose, perch and a complimentary background. Good detail and a pretty colorful individual.

This is a good look at this red-breasted Nuthatch, David. The tufts of moss/lichen are special additions to the view. We used to see these here in MD, but only during cold spells and I haven't seen any in several years.
