Nuthatches and Chickadees are always a welcome guest at one of our many feeders. It impresses me when people do the many bird counts, for I would have no idea how many different visitors we have daily. I missed a great opportunity the other day when a very young Nuthatch had come to a feeder and I all but reached out and touched it, for I expect it had been born near by and was already use to my presence. No camera in hand, it was left sitting on a bench whicle I refilled the seed~
Two of my favourite year-round visitors, too, although I have a red-breasted nuthatch in my yard. Love your photos of them. You are inspiring me to go out and capture my chickadees and nuthatches with my camera! :)
ReplyDeleteWow I should really try to put feeders over here, just to see what happens ;-) Yours are quite successful.. Well done Mary, the pictures are splendid!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, When in Canada I never did get to see White-breasted Nuthatch, only Red-breasted so it's a treat to see your photos. And that Chickadee looks so much like my blog header.
ReplyDeleteHow clear and crisp are your photos! I bet it is a sweet sound to hear as they chirp early in the morning!
ReplyDeletenuthatches! i love love love 'em (all species). They just seem to all have so much personality, and i really like their vocalizations. They make me happy - chickadees too. Love the pictures :)
