redbreasted nuthatch with seed

[sam walker]

We are having an irruption year for RBNH . I have a small flock who has joined my resident white breasted in raiding the feeder. The raids don't last long. Fly in,pick a large seed then fly off to cover over and over. Bold birds, this was shot from a chair about 12 feet away.
Thanks for looking C&C welcome

I've never seen one looks like a pretty bird.

Nice shot Sam. I wish they would erupt over this way. :)
