Nuthatch, Seed in Beak, Ready for Take-Off


The White-Breasted Nuthatch does not spend long on our deck when it lands to pick up a seed. Unless you are sitting there with your camera in position, ready to take the picture, this bird will land, pick up its seed, and take off again -- all before you have the chance even to set up. This particular shot caught the nuthatch within a few movements of taking off. Immediately after this picture, the bird squatted low and then dove off the side of the deck.
