I took this photo in the fall, we had so many red breasted nuthatches come through in a period of a couple weeks; this day there were over 6 different red breasted nuthatches and 4 white breasted moving all around me and as I was taking photos of one…another would be running around behind me or around me on posts and trees; this little bird in the photo was incredibly comfortable with me and would even land on my shoulder or on my camera lens and tap trying to see if I would hand over some peanuts it saw me feeding it (and others) earlier. Most of the large group moved through; but there are still a few that stayed behind to overwinter.
