These are fast little buggers. SH with a good exposure. Did you set up the perch?

Thanks Artie, they are super fast. This was my first time using a tripod for wildlife photography which really helped in this setting. I did set up the perch -- I ziptied it to a cheap tripod which seemed to be pretty stable. I experimented with 3-4 different woodpecker / nuthatch perches this past weekend. Best,

Thanks Alex. Think thinner on a perch for the nuthatches and other smaller species. A rotted section of tree trunk about 3-4 feet long in a planter with some suet in the cracks can work well for the woodpeckers ...

nice shot Alex, I like the HA and good details, what I don't like so much is the perch that has intersected with the bird and is a bit too large/thick for my taste

I love these little guys. One of my favorite "feeder" birds. I agree witht he comments above, and would add that there may be some extra details to extract from the whites. Awesome details on the other areas, and I like the alert pose.

Nice details and head angle. And good to see it against a clean background. If selecting the perch I would be more selective and get something really memorable and different than the standard nuthatch on the side of tree trunk that you have seen thousands of shots of. Also the whites of the face look a touch hot to me. I also think that if you have the pixels that this should get an 8:10 type vertical crop.

These little guys hop all over. Nice to see one still and not up side down. Nice details. Great background.
