    Hi Jim, neat little bird. I remember these as winter birds when I live up north, typical pose they always seem to be upside down. Thank you for sharing.

    Very nice.
    IQ is not as good as your other shots- bird head could be a bit sharper.
    The BG is great but could use some more NR.
    Best part of this image is the lovely bark on the tree. So full of great detail, shape and lines.

    Love, love, love the bark and the killer BG. Yes to slightly more sharpening and NR on BG only. TFS

    ps
    Really enjoying this series, keep them coming, my friend...

    Nice upside down view of this nuthatch. I like the texture on the bark of the tree and the green background.

    Hello Jim, wonderful capture but would consider more sharpening on the birds head, looks a wee blurred. These nuthatches are speedy bullets and currently the fastest touch and go species in my yard... Love the tree.
