What is joy?
It is a bird
That we all want to catch.
It is the same bird
That we all love to see flying

What a cute little bird! In that second picture, I think he is saying, "Hey, who let the paparazzi in here." :D Great shots, Shelley!
Cute is the best description I have also!
Aren't they funny?! I love these guys. Beautiful photos.
Great pictures of the Nuthatch.
I have not had the best of luck with this little brd,he is to fidgety.
Blessings,Ruth
Nice shots. I like the shape of the nuthatch bill.
Shelley, You always get the best pictures of your babies... I love the Nuthatches. We have them every day---but they disappear when I pull out the camera. They are just gorgeous birds!
Hugs,

No grasping to catch birds for me anymore. I used to band birds, but that is ancient history now. That metaphor has dissapated. Now the goal is to soar like a bird by becoming what ever we want to be. :)
Beautiful White Breasted Nuthatch photos.
He's so darn cute!
Wonderful pictures Shelley! You can always hear that little feller coming with their nasaly notes!
What glorious photos Shelley! Love him!
Awesome nuthatch shots, Shell!!! Beautiful. You are a master painter of bird photography. :D
Happy Holidays!!!
Hugs, JJ
great shots! i love this little bird...maybe because it's one i rarely see.
These two Nuthatch photos are beautiful Shelley!
Sweet photographs of such a cute bird. We love watching them scurrying up and down the trees.
Great nuthatch shots! I love these guys!
Lovely shot of this little fella. The flash lit up his eye too I see :-)
beautiful nuthatch...great photos.
And you caught him so well. We hunt with our cameras so we can continue to hunt. We are smarter than the hunters that carry a gun.
Hi Shelley,
I was glad to be able to visit your blog and see all the excellent photos of birds. It gives me a good insight into bird life in your part of the World. Thanks
Is that a chickadee? I love the words. We want to watch them soaring in the sky, yet we'd love to have them close up and personal! Yet can't have both!

beautiful shots of a hard to get bird. The first picture he looks like he is being shy. Merry Christmas!!
These are sooooo sweet!
He's looking extra pretty for the holidays!
I don't know what it is about them, but Nuthatches (the white-breasted ones, anyway) remind me of distinguished old men - and I mean that in the nicest way. Happy Holidays to you and yours, Shelly!
Hallo Shelley,
