"Nuthatch"

Here are some photos of a pair of nuthatches which came around to a suet feeder. They were quite tolerant of my presence. All were taken with a D4, 500mm with a 1.4 TC at f/11, 1/2000 and Auto ISO. Richard

Three excellent captures of the White Breasted Nuthatch! Wonderful detail and great winter light!

Al, Victor and Asgard: thanks for looking and commenting. It's appreciated. These guys are incredibly quick movers. I'm thinking about stickum on the branch. Richard

I think that's the first image I've seen of them in an upright position! Excellent images of a difficult subject.

Great series Rich! You really handled the white feathers extremely well. I also like that some of the more subtle colors are well pronounced. I like #2 best, however, #1 best illustrates my comments.

Good shootin'
