The brown headed nuthatch is like a modern sculpture, only better! They are both exquisite!
Thanks HJ for your skill in capturing them so perfectly. 🙂

What beautiful shots, as always, H.J, they are adorable. The little Chickadee reminds me of our ‘bird babies’ the blue and yellow Tits that play in our garden. I love watching them play tag, and we had loads of chicks this year, totally blessed 🙂

  Thank you Eily! Yes, these little birds are very active in the backyard, one can’t help to like them. 🙂

Your chickadee and nuthatch are different than ours on the west coast. It’s fun to see yours, and I appreciate your awesome photographs, HJ. 🙂

I love the brown background on these photos – it’s a wonderful contrast and compliment to the colors of the birds. Did you do the background in post processing? It’s a nice effect, if so. 🙂

  That effect is created by DOF, I never create any in post processing. I shoot in RAW file and process and save in jpg file. If you shoot in Av or Tv mode you can achieve that effect. 🙂
