These are our version of Nuthatches. They get around in small family groups and work their way in a downward spiral down trees (often dead ones)

Background is a standout and I really like that eye.

Great image. I like the pose and diagonal perch. Background very nice. The upturned beak is at the perfect angle to appreciate.

I love the pose and the simplicity of this composition Rob. Nuthatches are some of my favorite to watch, they just have a no nonsense way about them.

I like this as posted, Rob. What a great, expressive face that bird has and this is a very good look at it.
