Thanks Dan. It's definitely a nuthatch. The beak gives it away, as do the markings. They can't get at the feeder upside down, so they attack it just like the other birds. Paul via phone > On Feb 20, 2017, at 11:28 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > >> On Sun, Feb 19, 2017

I wouldn't say I prefer grain. I'm ambivalent. I almost always shoot in TAV mode because the light varies greatly depending on where the birds perch. This shot is in brighter light, and I used some flash fill. So much lower ISO than the sparrow pic. No converter, handheld. Just for my personal

Thanks a Larry, Most of the birds perch on tree branches before going to the feeder, so I don't need to encourage it. The nuthatches are somewhat of an exception, although I have occasionally gotten them on a tree as well -- upside down, as is their normal stance. Paul via phone > On Feb 20,

First of all, that's a great photo. Paul Stenquist wrote: I generally try to shoot birds in trees or on other natural perches, but the nuthatches rarely land on nearby branches. Once they’ve had their fill at the feeder, they fly to the top of trees. I wonder if you could take some sections

Thanks to all who looked and commented. I do see your point Stan. I did look for a vertical crop, but I didn't find one I really liked. None of the solutions I came up with was dynamic enough to communicate the life style of the bird. Always on the run, from one nut to another. So I concluded
