Fall migrants - Red-breasted Nuthatch

Posted By Cal Sandfort
I'm trying to switch over to manual exposures and it's difficult for me when shooting in the trees with varying light conditions. This shot was a little too dark and I got some grain in the background when I lightened it but I like the spider web and wood chips hanging from this bird's beak.

Canon MK II, 300mm lens with 2X TC and 550 flash.

Just Visiting

Nice shot, Christine. The OOF background helps the bird pop out.

Nice shot of a cool bird. That little bit of catch light helps bring out the eye.

Does anyone know what bird this is?

Posted By Cal Sandfort
Great shot, Chuck.

In my experience these birds are not very approachable.

Good job - Cal

Goldfinch?

Posted By Cal Sandfort
My guess is a warbler. Most likely a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Check out the eye ring, the streaking and the patch of yellow in front of the wing.
