My Bird Of The Day # 18 (Red-Breasted Nuthatch)

Day # 18 - Date : Wednesday, November 1, 2017
This is the smaller cousin of the White-breasted Nuthatch I posted earlier in this series. It is in my opinion one of the most difficult birds to capture a good pic of. It is always on the move, very small and likes to stay within the branches on thick trees (mine does anyways, within the spruces). Another problem is that he appears to enjoy his outings at dusk, when the light is pretty well non-existent. The only times I have gotten a fairly good picture on one this fall was when he decided to come out in the open for a taste of suet on my log. In previous shoots when my mobility was a-ok I could move about and make the opportunities to get a better photo, but right now I'm forced to try and wait for him to come to me. Afraid there is way too much "noise" for my liking. But these are the best I could get this fall, not the best but good enough to show what he looks like. Probably would have been better with my 300mm prime to catch this little rascal.

Incredible that you could have such success. Could you post your camera, lens and settings? I want to take pictures like this.

Hi GalaxyCat, thanks for your comment. If you look at the top of each pic it shows the info your requesting.
