This is a great place not too far from town, where you can find White-breasted Nuthatches.
They are quite tame, and will sometimes come down to your outstretched hand to take food, along with the even tamer Black-capped Chickadees that are always present.
I got some photos of them feeding from my wife's hand which I will post soon.
For now , here are some photos I got of this handsome bird

This is what a Nuthatch will do when a Chickadee gets too close :

Beautiful shots. I really like the poses and the bird is such a cutie! :-)
Thankyou. They are even cuter when they land on your hand and make their little honking sound :-)
Wow, I absolutely LOVE that last one! (They are all exceptional!) I can't imagine ever getting mine to feed from my hand, but I have never tried, so thanks for the idea!
Fantastic shots.
Thanks guys :-)
Perfect - you captured not only his beauty, but his personality!
Its beautiful to see closeup images of this species. In India they are very shy. lovely bokeh and very well composed as well
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Great shots, I especially like the second two. I was just out raking the yard and noticed a bunch of chickadees flying around my trees and there were a few nuthatches too. You've inspired me to try and get out there and get some photos.
Can't wait to see the nuthatches on the hand!
