Nuthatch at the Feeder

Today's ONS picture was Wild life. I wasn't sure if this was meant to be interpreted as wildlife- meaning animals, birds, etc. or as "living a wild life". Since my life really does not qualify as wild, I decided to apply it to my furry friends.

This week's black and white them is "things that begin with the letter N" and of course this Nuthatch who is nibbling away at my feeder (out in the big wide world of nature is a nice sample for N indeed.

Beautiful b&w

Nice shot, Ann. They are such a cute little bird! I can't believe we captured one within a day of each other. That is too funny! Faving this one!

[Debs Stott]

Haha my life certainly doesn't qualify as wild either! I gave up on this theme for today, at least you posted. Lovely capture and cute bird.

[Laur]

Lovely wildlife capture Ann

About a month ago I took a picture of one of these in this position with a Butter Nut ball on the tip of his bill. Fabulous picture except it wasn't clear. UGh birds move and it isn't good for photography. These guys are quick and you have done a great job.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great processing in b&w. Gorgeous shot.

[Janiskay]

[Joyce]

My humble thanks to you my good friends! I am off to a family wedding tonight, on to a community service project with the camera club tomorrow and will catch up with your great shots when all is done. Hmmm...maybe my life is a little wild this weekend!

@joansmor Although I wasn't using it on this shot, I have found the burst mode to be quite handy when photographing the birds. You do have to wade through a lot of shots and delete, but generally speaking you also get a couple that are really good!

[Terry]

Great capture, of this upside down little guy

[Nicole]

wonderful capture!

[Lynn]

Super in b&w and the dof and focus is excellent.

[Graham Thresher]

A brilliant shot.

[alta]

Superb shot! Love the bw!

[Joan Robillard]

@olivetreeann Umm I will have to look into that. I am not sure my camera has that. Thanks

[Daisy Miller]

Lovely BW capture. I would qualify this photo as one of wild life.

[Kathy]

I love the Nuthatchers!! The way they slide down the poles, walk upside down and don't seem to be afraid of people!!! Cute picture!! FAV!
