nice catch greg!
Hey Iggy I have the nuthatches, chickadees and others in my feeder all the time. I just havent gotten around to setting up my tripod to catch them yet. You can always come here :)

Nice Shot Greg. I have yet to capture a male that I'm happy with. It seems the females are more friendly.

I give you a lot of credit for shooting in the cold. I've been going to the same spot everyday for 3 weeks now, and some days, it takes everything I have to get myself out there.

How close were you?

I would say I was 30 feet away. I have a few of him closer but he was picking up seed left for the Chickadees so they don't look natural. The shot is also a crop from the original since my longest lens is a 200mm.

nice shot(s) Greg
