Guess I will start a new thread.. Birds of the Northeast USA, Spring 2023:)

We get White breasted Nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis) all the time in my area.. I shoot these all the time. Love these little guys..

We have their cousin the Red breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) in parts of Ct, but I can never find it so I went an hour north to where I could reliably find them.

Nuthatch and Creepers are harder to photograph than hummingbirds

Thats funny you say that Dave.. I went to this local to photo the red breasted nuthatch and brown creeper. I got one of the two...will have to go back after the creeper.

Sweet Al, I am not all that great with the little guys and advice to myself is ..... more practice :D

Thanks Pat. Yeah that practicing is essential for birds.. frustrating at times but once we nail the skill for a particular subject its like riding a bike. For me here, the small birds are often all I have to shoot. .. believe me.. my delete buttons paint is well worn.lol
