For some reason the fledgling Nuthatches seem to find our deck railing a great place to relax, spread their wings, and practice a little yoga ... or so it would appear. Usually they do this after having a few peanuts from the feeder, or are waiting their turn.
These photos were taken on 2 different days. Please don't mind the fuzziness as I had to shoot them through double paned glass, with a glare, and then work them up a bit in Photoshop. They are too cute not to share.
Needing a little break . . .
After all that I think he/she feels much better, don't you?

These are simply adorable and cute photos of this nuthatch baby!! I just want to scoop him up and pet his feathers! Great photos!! I love when he balls himself up into a little fluff ball!
OK, here's what you can do for that glass glare. Buy yourself two filters. One is a Polarizing Filter and the other one is a UV filter. Together they shouldn't cost you more than $30-$40. You can read about these two filters and others here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_filter I have them and I LOVE them. In fact, I'm going to buy me another set because, so far, I have two lenses and I have to keep unscrewing and screwing the filters every time I change lenses. I want to have a set for each lens and never have to remove them.
What a cute baby bird! That was some extreme stretching!
Your photos are awesome. I have two blogs. I think I got here from my writers blog.

Nothing like a good stretch to get you going in the morning! That little fellow certainly is limber. And, way too cute! I think the photos are quite good...thanks for sharing!
They are ADORABLE...fuzzy and cute!
I think your photos turned out pretty good without the filters, even!!
How cute! What wonderful pictures.
oh my gosh - how adorable. It does look like she's doing some yoga!
These are great and I'm smiling :)
Great shots. I especially love the third one. I agree with shellmo, I just want to pet their beautiful, fuzzy feathers. Too cute
Awww, do you suppose he's cleaning him/herself? Too cute!
Great blog and beautiful photos! It makes me miss the north east!
Oh Sharon I love these photos..can you see me smiling..so sweet!
You are shattering the cuteness meter with this one!
Sharon, what a gorgeous little bird. That first shot is so cute. I wonder what it's thinking. I love that it's sitting on the railing. You don't see that too often.
Thanks for the info on the Heron. I think you're right about it being a Louisiana Heron. I looked it up online again and another name for it is Tricolored Heron. I like the name Louisiana Heron better. Thanks again Cindy.
Oh, I love those pictures! I need to get more seed in my feeder. I have taken so many pictures (thru the screen) of the birds at the feeders, but now that the babies are coming about I want to see them too. I just struggled with the chipmunks and squirrels getting in the squirrel proof feeder. I love your pictures!
So cute. It made me smile to see these. Shooting pics of birds can be sooo frustrating. They just like to pose. Ha.
That has to feel better after tending to those itchy pin feathers.
