Nuthatch Back Detail


Here we are. I took this early this morning after the pileated sighting. This is what I'm talking about regarding the detail we could never see with the unaided eye. Look at the beautiful layering of the feathers and their coloring. It looks like he's wearing a solid gray shawl over his shoulders. Simply beautiful! And this is just black, gray and white. Ok......I have a new project. I'm going to attempt to photograph the backs of as many birds as I can to illustrate their being flying works of art. Should be a challenge, and this wire mesh sunflower seed feeder will be an important tool in my getting what I want.
