Outstanding close up Don!! I'm behind also with keeping up :) Your photo has such nice details. You can even see what looks like eyelashes. Great Job!!

Thanks Alandra and Vincent, it is appreciated. Alandra, I'll have to look into the red breasted NHs, haven't seen one before. And don't sweat about leaving comments. I know myself if I am unable to check the site for 3 or 4 days there are up to 7 or 8 pages of new photos to look at, sometimes more. I hate to miss any of them, but I'm sure everyone understands when it happens. Have a good one and thanks again, Don

darn, that last comment was sent before I meant it to, wanted to say that we don't get this type of nuthatch here, we get the red breasted nuthatches in our area. I believe "your" type is a bit larger than the ones we see here.

wonderful closeup, Don, Love it. Echoing all the other listers' comments, am late with all mine these days, so I just have to repeat what everyone else writes :)

Thanks for the kind words guys. I love bird photos too Carol, well heck I love just about any kind of photo ...lol. Mike, I was about 10 feet away fron the bird. I didn't use an extension tube. I should have been clearer. When I wrote 70x200+1.4ext. The 1.4ext is a 1.4x tele converter. That just gives me a little more reach with the 70x200. It turns the top end into a f/4 280mm lens. Confusing huh? Sorry about that, Don

Good close up. Relatively good detail and color.

I meant the nuthatch doesn't come to the feeder they have here - in the place where I live. *lol* Mistakes of aged people are forgiven, aren' they? Sorry

A beauty of a close up. Wonderful detail...like those tiny feathers at the bottom of the beak.

Anne from West Virginia on Nov 28, 2006 at 11:57 AM said:

Your description is absolutely right. A great close up of a bird family I used to watch and put out food for - until my fall. And though some birds come to feeder, this one doesn't - to this one, though one did to my feeder. *g* Thanks Don. Great close up!!!
