Red Breasted Nuthatch

In the last few months, this little guy(or gal) has been hanging around my backyard. This is the second type of nuthatch I've seen.

Editing consisted of a crop in Picmonkey.

Hi, Melissa I'm your get pushed challenge partner for the week. My challenge to you is to set up and shoot a classic still life with a minimum of 3 objects of your choice. Use whatever you have available for lighting to create as dramatic of image as you can. Have fun and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

fave, so cute, one of my favorite birds, have you heard the cool sounds they make? I have them year round.

@nanalisarocks
Thanks! No, I do not believe I've heard their call. It's hard to make out calls over the blue jays and crows.
