    Default White-Breasted Nuthatch

    This little guy was lurking around at the top of Sandia Crest (elev. 10,600 feet) a couple of weeks ago. The conditions were rough, and he wouldn't sit still for more than a couple of seconds. He did however strike this classic nuthatch pose long enough for me to get a frame.

    Hi Doug!
    Sweet pose and I love the bg colour. I also love the detail in the tree bark and the bird's leg as a foil to the softness (I don't mean OOF!) of the feathers...
    Regards,
    Nicki

    As you stated, classic pose and well captured. Nice comp, exposure and details. Love the bg. A few inches lower and the tail would not have been shadowed but they just don't like to co-operate always:D.

    Good point Todd. The saving grace in this image is that there is no strong shadow line on the bird.
