I love the poses these birds give, especially the white-breasted. Being bigger and less prone to incessant perch hopping (compared to the red-breasted), it is also easier to get picks of. Here are some images I've managed over the past while. All handheld with 7D. Lens varied, and a 21mm tube was used on some. All of these birds were hanging out near feeding stations put in place and stocked by other bird lovers.
It's hard to get a really beautiful bg on nuthatch shots (in my experience anyways) but all the bgs here are pleasant and the last 3 are very nice, the subjects are great in almost every one - great poses and very detailed. nice work!!
I like these small birdies too and their classical poses. Have been able to capture a few of the red bresated birds so far this winter. I love the pine needle backgrounds on some of these.

Terrific images, Ken.
Way bigger than life-size... not so easy to do and get such excellent quality.
Conrad's fiddling was an improvement to an already fine pic.
