I’m fond of these little birds with their oversized heads and nasal calls. They’re often seen moving sideways or upside down on tree trunks; I was happy to catch this nuthatch in an upright position. It was in a dark part of the forest so I made a few exposure adjustments in Lightroom and corrected a slight green colour-cast in Photoshop.

    That little portrait on top is cool. I like how the out of focus background has a certain swirling and radiating quality out from the center of the image.

    Fun birds to watch and hard to capture. I especially like the first one on the end of the stick. These are great shots.

    They always bring a smile. I like how the feathers on its back are slightly greenish in the second photo.

    I know its difficult to get a good shot of these little active birds, often high in the dark canopy. You’ve done well.
