Not long after I parked my Jeep, I saw a bunch of Yellow-rumped Warblers enjoying a puddle of water. As I approached I immediately saw the Red-breasted Nuthatch among the leaves almost above me. Bad lighting and the innate restlessness of this species only allowed me some so-so shots. Better than none, I reasoned to myself. After about five minutes it left the area, never to be seen again despite my repeated forays to that particular spot.

Other than that the place was quite birdy and I was able to get some nice pictures, particularly of a Redhead Duck which I thought was quite unusual here.

All in all, I had quite a good harvest of avian photographs some in rather interesting poses.

Nice collection of pictures. We do had red-breasted here although they are not as common as the white-breasteds. Thanks for sharing
I love the funny birds in motion photos.
