Great shots Steve, looks like you have a really nice place to shoot. Might have to go hit the Sav NWR tomorrow:lol:

Thanks Travis...I found this place a couple of years ago, but had forgotten about it for a good bird spot. Now I'm spending both days off there every week, and next week when my 300mm f4 comes in I will try it out on the birds that stay further away from me.

Thanks Gary...I always shot nuthatches on the side of trees...I like seeing them coming down for water, then they stand up like other birds...This little Red-breasted is a little shy compared to the pygmy, and I had a hard time getting a shot...Until I saw this one at the pond, I didn't even know they were in this area....steve

I love these, very nice!

Thanks Candyd, glad you like them...These are fun birds to see and shoot...steve

Very nice shots of these little cuties. You sure have a variety of Nuthatches we never see, although I did see one little red breasted a few evenings last week. Now that I have a camera again, he hasn't come back. A lot smaller than the white breasted too, I almost missed him. :)

Thanks Mitch...when I first saw the red-breasted, I didn't know what it was...the pygmy's would chase it off when it came down to drink...This one is a bit shy...hope to see it again and get some better shots...steve

I never tire of nuthatches. I have many in my yard and always enjoy seeing them.

Both great captures especially the nuthatch , wow you must have been fast to catch him looking skywards .

[njnightsky]

Nice shots

[Anke]

Lovely couple of shots, Steve. I love the pose that Nuthatches have, shown beautifully in your second shot. :D

[tote]

Those little pygmies are just so cute. Great shots.

[Stephen Stephen]

I like both shots Steve but the Pigmy gets my vote.

[pttenn]

Love that first one! You did good to capture these little guys, they sure don't sit still long!

A Pygmy Nuthatch...none of those around here and i have rarely seen decent photos of them...You have a beauty there.....excellent!!

[CDN_Merlin]

Great shots. I love nuthatches. The noise they make when they come eat out of our hands is sweet. Makes you want to bring them home.

[ajosteve]

Thanks to all that commented, glad you love the little nuthatches like I do...appreciate you all having a look at a cute couple of birds....steve

Never tire of Nuthatches, Steve. The Pygmy is an excellent image. And the Red-breasted is nice as well. As least you have him turned part way around. Most of my Red-breasted shots turn out to be straight butt shots!
