Excellent pose, Allen. If it decides to become a regular, you might be able to arrange your setup to get some of those classical upside down poses.

Wonderful to see one! You captured a very intent pose with good IQ and a lovely and complementary BG. Looking forward to more! I only see the white-breasted variety, which have to dodge the Acorn Woodpeckers to sneak up to the feeders. The red-breasted and pygmy are apparently only up in the mountains.

Very nice capture of one of these very nervous moving little guys. Let me guess, one second later this was just a bare stick… I have these guys in the backyard and appreciate the quick-draw required to get one. Well done!
