Thanks Jeff...lot's of babies here!

Nice out here they get close after awhile. but can be fast.

Excellent shots Sandy. I haven't seen a nuthatch since wintr.

Beautiful set Sandy. The last one especially, never see the Reds here, wah!

Beauties! Go ahead and pet one.

Believe it or not I had a white breasted nuthatch come for a visit last week didn't expect them until August or September

Just wanted to add this one, same as above, but processed in Perfect Effects 8. Just added "Glow" in the natural category.

Thanks Ian. I have White and Red ones year round, though the Whites haven't been seen at the suet with babies yet! I do spot the white ones occasionally in the trees.

Thanks Bret. That is sad that you don't get them...maybe some day. Everything else seems to migrate to different locations.

I do spot them here, just not on a daily basis.

Thanks Cheryl. I like the Glow too, but it does take away a bit of the sharpness.

All comments and advice is so greatly appreciated!

Good job, Sandy. I love these little guys and a more amiable bird one could not find. When we've had them around, I have to carry seed in my pocket at all times as they accost me anywhere they find me. Not so with the white-breasters, though; one cannot get close to them.

Thanks Al. It is funny how demanding they are. The first ones waiting in the morning for me to put the seed and suet back out, is the Hairy's, Downy's and the Nuthatches! I feel bad when I'm a few minutes late...It's usually out by 5:30. I try pretty hard not to leave anything out at night for the bears, raccoons or skunks.
