Post your best bird shots!

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.

Nice work.....you have the same species visiting as I do here in south central Ky. You got some nice sharp images. I especially like the RBW and the Nuthatch with the wings spread, really cool!

Thanks, Joel. The RBW was seriously camera shy. He kept hiding behind the tree and would only come out on the shadowed side. Catching the nuthatch like that was pure luck.


Nice hummer shot, SynJohn. I need to look into a feeder like that. We have hummers around. I just need to find someplace where a feeder won't be dangerous for them with all our outdoor cats prowling around.
