Feeder Bird

Red-breasted Nuthatch at peanut feeder.  I haven't been able to get a shot of this guy anywhere else this winter and while I did have one without the peanut that I could have fixed up to make it look more natural, I decided I'd just go with what it gave me and post it in this Gallery.

7Dii, sigma 150-600 C @ 388 mm, Jobu Gimbal mounted to blind window, f/8, 1/1000, iso 2000, aperture priority, pattern metering, -2/3 EV.  Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped from the sides a bit.  I darkened the bright part of the bg to make the peanut stand out a bit better.  Taken February 22nd at 8:59 am.

Your comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for taking a look,

I wish we had nuthatches here.  Your photo illustrates just how cute these little fellas are!

They are characters Dennis.  I love them too.  I really like your feeder pouch.
