Photographed in the Arboretum. I was walking past a conifer stand when a couple of chickadees came out and waylaid me. I happened to have some seeds in my knapsack and so when I held out a handful, I was expecting chickadees, but to my surprise, this nuthatch flashed past the chickadees, landed, grabbed a seed and took off. Eventually 6 chickadees and 2 nuthatches all made a meal of the seeds. Not a great shot because these guys are fast and I was trying to shoot with one hand (not the steadiest!).
