Young and Unafraid
Lens: HD DA55-300mm f4.5-6.3 PLM Camera: K-3II Photo Location: Backyard ISO: 2000 Shutter Speed: 1/800s Aperture: F6.3 
Posted By: ToddK, 05-24-2020, 09:51 AM

A family of recently fledged nuthatches are hanging around my backyard, and they have not yet figured out what to be afraid of. Hopefully they will stay on the trees and not venture onto the ground where my cats reside...

Nice posing! It's neat to watch the nuthatches and the way they walk around on the trees

He certainly was, and he had a few siblings, but I couldn't get them together for a group shot

They must have a good manicurist
