Classic nuthatch shot, so well done with the pose. Would be nie to have those amazing feet in better focus, and I wish for a bit more eye contact. But it's still a nice shot
and a really good result considering the focal length!

Good solid classic nuthatch pose.
I was at that very same spot 2 years ago and did not see a single bird. Lucky you!

A nice image with a good composition, soft background and fine details.
I love that you have done the vertical shot originally.

Thank you all for the comments.
Gail, This is my third trip to Bryce Canyon and I saw these birds in all of my trips. Based on my Observation, I saw these birds in the Mornings near Parking lots at Sunset points and in Mid days I saw them in the Trails. I never seen then in Evenings.
I saw White Brested Nutthach, Pygmy nuthatch and Clarks Nutcrackers and Western Bluebirds. I wanted to photograph Pygmy nuthatch, hopefully next time. These birds are really approachable specially in winters with lots of snow.
Thanks

Hey Krishna,
This one is very nice. I actually like the tree better than the bird as the nuthatch's face looks a bit overdone to me .. . You might try to tone down the hotspot in the URC with a flopped, refined Quick Mask of the soft green ...
with love, artie

I like the classic pose, composition and how the tree bark compliments the rusty underside of the Nuthatch. Nice image.
