Excellent shots, Ed. The second takes the edge because the eye is nice and sharp...the focus on the first shot was on the back. Great classic poses!

Thanks Dan. I was pleased with how these turned out. I took these using a 70-200 f/2.8L IS lens and was typically shooting between 145mm and 200mm and f/2.8 and f/5.6. ISO was always 800 and I used flash on every shot this morning as it was very, very overcast.

Beautiful shots Ed. Fantastic detail and shrpness.

Thanks Henry. I appreciate the feedback. Always good to hear from you.

I like the second one best. Very well done.

Again thanks. The second is also my favorite of the two and may just be my best White-breasted Nuthatch image.

Thanks Scott. Appreciate the feedback. My wife was hand feeding the Chickadees and Titmice and the Nuthatches were coming down to investigate. Alas these guys were too timid to come to hand - at least yesterday!
