For today's Camera Critters, we feature two species that are very common in this area. I take most of my bird photos while waiting for larger species of wildlife to appear, and have learned that it is quite productive to maintain natural bird feeders to attract birds within camera range.
These were taken with the Canon 7D and 300mmF2.8 with 1.4 extender and were from the same session that produced the Mourning Dove photos for last week's Camera Critters.

| White-breasted Nuthatch |

| Black-capped Chickadee |
The feeder is a partially- hollow log, which is secured in an upright position with metal straps and lag bolts. The log is closed off a few inches below the holes, which makes a cavity to contain the seed. The birds flit in an out of the openings to feed.
