ridiculous nuthatch details

[julian]

I was wandering around my local larger park when a nuthatch hung out on a tree (around my height) and declined to leave, despite my sloooowwwly getting closer to her. (Or him.) So I shrugged and kept taking pictures. I'm not sure if it was frozen in an effort to get me to stop caring, like squirrels and rabbits do, if it was protecting a specific spot, or what. (I suspect a mixture of both.) But anyway. Nuthatch close-ups, because I feel like it.

A bit further out.
