Nuthatch tongue

White-breasted Nuthatch: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, December 2025 — Maybe the start of a theme? In this shot you have another rare sighting of a bird’s tongue…this time a nuthatch. It also appears thin and sharp, not much like our soft fleshy mouthfuls, though much smaller and shorter than the tongue of the Red-bellied Woodpecker from a few days ago. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 450mm field of view. Taken through a double-glazed deck door. Program mode with bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
