+1 .... I have yet to get a chance to image these awesome birds!

This is a frequent visitor to my feeders in the yard.....Red Bellied Woodpecker. It is not often that they will pose in such a way that you can actually see the "red Belly"

This Northern Flicker has been starting to visit the feeders this year (finally) I have seen them from a distance for at least 4 years.

Thanks Joel. Your birds are excellent, as always.

Geat shots Joel - nice when they pose. Here's a nuthatch from yesterday near my feeder. These little guys have a lot of personality.

1Dx, 600mm f4L II + 1.4X III, ISO 800, 1/1600, f8, better beamer w 600EX, -1 2/3 fill flash.

I agree...that's the Red Breasted Nuthatch I think. You did well catching the classic Nuthatch pose and the sharpness of the that new 600 (even with the converter) is killer! Well done:)

Do you use a suet feeder to get the woodpeckers? I'm thinking about adding one.

Here's the other type of nuthatch we get in NC:

Yes....small wire cage that holds a suet cake. Just about any variety of suet works for me.

If you have a Tractor Supply Store close by I recommend getting suet there....a box of 10 cakes sells for $10.....best price I have ever seen.

Thanks!
