Hi All

Well had a great Thanksgiving week with all my kids and grandkids over the house. We feasted, talked and took a how bunch of family photos. Great time had by all, hope everyone that celebrated the holiday had just as much fun as I did.

Ok, I was out shooting in the backyard tonight, it was good low key lighting, not to much of a chill and the wind was cooperating. Again I used my staging area and shot from within my hide.

Greg

A very fetching pose of this nuthatch, Greg.
The POV shows off the beautiful markings on the back.
The composition with the diagonal stump is very pleasing,
and the warm autumnal colors make a lovely BG.
The light really highlights the very sharp details and the subtle colors.
A lovely image.

You certainly have a busy backyard with such a variety of guests coming to pose for you. How many species of birds have you shot there? I am amazed. This is another perfect shot.
