Nuthatch - Dove - Sit Spot #598 - September 16, 2020









There must have been a hawk or other predator round as this White-breasted Nuthatch sat in this position on top of our bird feeder without moving for at least 5 minutes this morning and a Mourning Dove was also frozen in position under the feeder for the same time. It gave me lots of time for taking photos.
