I had a very pretty flicker all lined up for a shot today and a second before I triggered the shutter off he flew.

I'm determined to reply to all your comments though.<br />-<br /><br />@The Retired One<br />I would love to have a built in zoom of 18x. Mine is only 4x. I am now keeping my ISO no higher than 250. That seems to work okay for me. I read that even the best cameras can't handle much more if you zoom out very far.<br /><br />I've had no problem with commenting today so far, but Blogger's commenting system is always messed up in some way. It should work better for you soon.<br />-<br /><br />@WillOaks Studio<br />Thank you very much! It is indeed a nuthatch! You identified it perfectly. It <i>was</i> pecking sort of like a woodpecker, just like you said. The field guides I use only showed a different kind of nuthatch, and it didn't look like this one. After seeing the picture you pointed me to, and checking Google Images, I found the same bird. Thanks.<br />-<br /><br />@Lin<br />Thanks. It is a nuthatch. I just saw a few pictures of more of them. I knew it was probably a common type of bird, I just couldn't find it.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-86177201425736054252009-10-06T15:34:59.417-05:002009-10-06T15:34:59.417-05:00I am not sure what it is either...

Any help you could give me would be great.<br />Oh, and I can't seem to post any of the comments today on Blogger.
