One of the Red Breasted Nuthatches sitting on my fingertips, it took it's sweet time selecting a seed from my hand, and almost seemed to enjoy letting me get some shots of it.

OMG, I didn't know you could get a nuthatch to eat out of your hand--I'll have to try that. But I could never take such a sharp photo of one at the same time!! Amazing capture, Dot! #5340421Dot K. January 14, 2008
Thanks Cheryle, Joyce, and Colleen,Cheryle, I'm happy to hear one landed on your shoulder, I'm sure they'll be eating from your hand in no time at all.
Colleen, if you have Nuthatches around then give it a try, they are quite friendly. #5340480

You have done it again, Dot!!! You are truly amazing with these wonderful birds. Great capture and perfect clarity. Nice work. Love it! Laura #5340820Maureen M. Bisson January 14, 2008
Fantastic capture Dot! Yesterday a Chestnut-backed Chickadee took a peanut from my hand & I managed to get a capture of the happy event. Our Nuthatches appear to be way more interested in the bark of the trees than what might be in my hand. After seeing this wonderful capture I shall put more time to inviting them to my hand also. Love it!! #5341205Roxanne M. Bubar January 15, 2008
