A White-breasted Nuthatch. They're usually scooting up and down trees, often headfirst, but every once in awhile one perches for a bit on the deck. Haven't taken as many bird shots this year as I usually do, possibly because the glass door I often shoot through has been covered in muddy pawprints for months!

He's set off so nicely against all that red.

Well I thought it was going to be an abstract, from the thumb. "D The wonderful autumn bokeh behind the bird was a lovely surprise. You caught him in some beautiful light. I notice how big & strong his feet are! So keep those glass doors windexed, so you can get some more of these delightful shots!

The light is just perfect for showing this pretty little bird off. He's gorgeous against the red foliage.

lovely inquisitive pose - and that background with the reds and dappled light is special

Love how you captured the bird in the light. The colorful but OOF background really is nice!

Excellent WBNH shot. I can hear him whistling his notes on one pitch whi-whi-whi-whi-whi-whi.
