\"Red-breastedRed-breasted Nuthatch on a chilly November morning \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/1600, ISO 800, -0.7 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m still trying to get my dream images of Brown Creepers and although I haven’t gotten the photos that I want of that species I am adding to my Red-breasted Nuthatch portfolio while attempting to photograph one of my nemesis birds.<\/p>\n

Most of the mornings I have spent hoping for the Brown Creepers to be in my viewfinder have been chilly but not completely birdless. I’ve had chickadees, turkeys, juncos, robins, solitaires, and nuthatches to photograph.<\/p>\n

Besides, I love sitting in the quiet, watching the birds moving about, being away from the news, while immersed in nature. It is good for me. I slow down. I relax. I pay attention to what is around me.<\/p>\n

If I get a single image, like this foraging Red-breasted Nuthatch feeding on the seeds of a Douglas Fir tree, I am happy.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
