| White-breasted Nuthatch, Sitta carolinensis: Horsecove; Gurley, Alabama |
While I was photographing Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers
over the past few days this White-breasted Nuthatch flew in numerous times. Usually nuthatches spiral down from the top
of a tree to bottom, pointing downward as they hitch down the tree. That was the image I wanted, an upside down
nuthatch. But this nuthatch was totally
uncooperative. Perhaps in time I’ll get
the image I want, but until then I hope you enjoy this shot.
Nikon D800, Nikkor 500mm f4, 1/60 second @ f7.1
This shot is so clear I can see his sharp claws digging in the tree.
