Hardly worth posting.

The sun was shining, but the birds were few and far apart today.
I spent most of the morning chasing a red-breasted nuthatch through pine trees and thicket.
I only managed one image of it, I think this chickadee was there to pester me.

Beautiful Shawn, for sure those were worth posting

I love Chickadees. Great photo!

I love your throwaways, Shawn! Both are excellent.

Well, you did come home with at least two good ones, Shawn. Very sweet shots.

Very pretty and definitely worth posting

I really like your Smugmug site as well.

definitely worth posting.

OMG, I wasn't expecting to hear anything about these images.
Thanks everyone!

I can see a lot of good things about these Shawn, specially the RBN image. I love the background, love the pose and the IQ is pretty darn good! I can see that twinkle in the eye. Believe me, I've take lots of pictures of the RBN and most ended up in the thrash. They are so quick!

I like #1 too. I think us birders get caught up in getting super close, and forget that sometimes taking a step back and getting a bit wider shot works just as well. I know I do.

Like the nuthatch~
