White-Breasted Nuthatch

I like these nuthatches that land on my deck. They've been around for a while this summer. You really do need to be 'quick on the draw' with your camera, or at least, you need to be ready to shoot when they land, because they pick up their seed and fly away - the whole thing is said and done in maybe 5 seconds tops. Even though this particular type of nuthatch is not a very colorful bird, I really do like the black and white that you see in this bird, and especially the detail that my camera has been able to pick up in its feathers.
