Regardless of how often I see these perky little birds running up and down trees, when I have the camera ready I’m always clicking away hoping for a better pose or a better background or better lighting than what I already have.This shot bathed in the warm light of the evening sun with the reds and greens of poke weed for a background makes this one of my favorite captures of the White-breasted Nuthatch.
Our drought has finally been broken with a cold rain that has been falling for the past three days. Temperatures have hovered from the mid to upper 30’s F making this feel more like late November than mid October.

The Nuthatch is a great bird and your photo is wonderful too. They are fun to watch climbing around the trees.
Thanks for sharing your critter.
Lovely shot!
Both lighting and background worked well.
Gorgeous shot, Coy!

Blessings,Ruth
Nice shot!
I played too :)
Nice photo with good composition. A combination that is hard to get. Well done.
Lovely!
That's a terrific shot of the Nutchatch. I have a bit of trouble getting a good capture of one of those. Nice job.
The nuthatches are busy here too. Eating all day long.
Pretty little bird Coy and a great shot.
Great photo, that little nuthatch looks like he is quite busy.

This is a very nice shot Coy.. Of a bird I will not see over here. I'm happy that you finally got some rain! I guess I can send you more if you want, cause here it has been raining non-stop for three days!
Great capture! I LOVE these little birds!!
I see our Nuthatches once in a while... but even if I spend an hour or two in our woodlands its getting rarer now. I have more chance of seeing these at bird feeders.
Terrific shot Salty. You are really able to capture wild life at its best.
Terrific photo - thanks for sharing!
Was 29 degrees during my Monday AM walk. I'm betting it was cold in your town also. Hopefully we're in for some pretty nice weather on Wednesday and Thursday. Enjoy! Nice shot of the nuthatch, Salty.
Salty: I also like to see this bird and its upsidedown antics.
