Chris: Fabulous colours. Great find and capture too!
Brian Morin: Everything worked with this bird. It was in the best possible location for shooting for light and was close. I got it from my car at the end of someone's property that had a very small pond and wetland added at the end of the lawn. It worked for me and for the bird.

White-breasted Nuthatch (2)

Sitta carolinensis

Brian Morin

Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: Oct 23 2013

Details: adult

Ottawa - I have done 'self portraits' with Chickadees before but this was my first effort with a very accepting White-breasted Nuthatch. For some technical details, the bird is about 18" from the lens with lens set at wide angle at f20 for maximum depth of field. You don't want a telephoto for this type of shot. Some individuals are more cautious so extending the arm a bit further may be required.
