Nuthatch

@Ti: This is their classic pose or even more times upside down! And when they get sunflower seeds from my feeder they will take them and place them in the cracks in the tree bark and then proceed to peck open the seed...They must not be able to hold things with their feet like the other perching birds do.

@willow: I happy you like them!!! I usually am resting my elbows on my knees because I'm sitting on a chair OR I have the lens on the window sill. Depending which branch they land on you have to move quickly and my tripod is not free moving enough so I don't use it. Now I could use my tripod for this exact capture above because there is only one or two places where they land most times on this perch I found. It is an old tree stump I found in the woods. This bird is actually sitting on what use to be a root on the tree. I have it laying on its side so the roots are sticking up in the air. It has a nice aged look to it.

@Earnest: They seem to be content and happier upside down :)
