Happy Nuthatch

It was mostly gray today after the morning snow flurry. But the activity at the birdfeeder kept me entertained. There were turkeys out in the woods too, but they were too far away and clustered amongst the trees so that I couldn't get a shot of them. Then this little fellow landed on the feeder so I turned my camera on him. I really don't know how they hold their heads like that for so long! It hurts my neck just looking at them!

Look at that pose... fabulous!

So obliging of him to stay there long enough for you to get this gorgeous shot! LOL about the neck! I know what you mean!

@grammyn Thank you Katy!

He's a poser for sure!

[Leigh Anne Sanderson]

Here they come to the feeder, take one or two seeds and disappear in the tree to crack them. love these little upside down birds.

@lsanderson55 Thank you Leigh Anne!
@bruni Thanks Bruni! Yes, they do that here too- as well as the Chickadees and Tufted Titmouses.

Super shot Ann.

[Kathy]

Awwww, great minds think a like!! I just took a photo yesterday of a Nut Hatcher too!! We have a lot of these at our feeders and I just love to watch them!! They are so comical!! Love how they hang upside down and beat the crap out of the seed to break it open!! Most birds peck the seed but these beat the seed against something to open them!! They have to have some strong feet to hang like they do! Love your details and POV!! Instant FAV!

[Kate]

Beautiful bird! We stayed at a B&B once named "Nuthatch" so they always bring a smile to my face.

[Suzie Townsend]

You are so funny about the neck! But you are so right! Mine would hurt too. He is a cute little guy! Great capture of him!

[Pyrrhula]

A great shot of this beautiful bird in a so rare position.

[alia_801]
