It was a beautiful afternoon and I took a camp chair into the backyard. I positioned it where I could get shots of birds staging in our tulip tree before they dropped down onto my feeding station, AKA Tim's Diner.
This is one of a pair of Red-breasted Nuthatches (Sitta canadensis) that have been regular Diner patrons for the past couple of months. I caught it as it was dashing straight up the tree. I wasn't able to get a good shot of it as it ran back down the trunk, head first, as nuthatches do.
