Description
I've been patiently waiting to get a close-up of the red-breasted nuthatch that visits my yard. This time, he let me get very close without scurrying away. These little birds are quick and tough to get.This bird is smaller than the white-breasted nuthatch and has a higher pitched voice. The first time I spotted it from a distance, I knew something was different and was very excited when I realized that I have both species in my woods.

I love the color choice of the background; it really compliments the lovely, muted colors of the nuthatch. I see what DVance means about sharpening, but only a tiny, tiny bit, and I think if it's a choice between noise and a very slight degree of muzziness, I'd choose the latter. Just me.

Thank you! I suppose the only thing I could do is try to get a better photo that is sharper with lower ISO

Did you know that Nuthatches are from the woodpecker family?

They're not from the same order, but they do have similar habits

Thanks. I'll see what I can do without making it look terrible (the bird gets noisy when I sharpen)
