Description


Folks sometimes get these birds confused..I guess it is the coloration. Up close and habits show very, very different birds. This is a Nuthatch, fussy sounding acrobats who hold little fear of a camera. The shot is with all the available light there was and was at 400ISO just to get enough speed to keep the blur down when the bird moved. Still, this is a Nuthatch. I will try to get a nice Chickadee pic, with a different lens, better reach and more light. Ahh..now those jump at the sound of the shutter.

What a lovely capture of this Nuthatch quite different from our European species, they do have an unusual behaviour I saw which is bill sweeping in which it picks up a piece of fur, plant or insect with its bill and uses this to sweep around its nests cavity..

Hah - Gotcha - you left the bribe on the table!!!! Nice capture - and yeah - the smaller the birds get, the harder it's to identify 'em! I shot a juvenile cardinal yesterday (never seen one before) and was dumbfounded - for it had both male and female traits...
