Black-Capped Chickadee


Eating the nutlike fruits of a Witch Hazel



Taking a meditative moment...

Black-capped Chickadee ~ certainly a favorite
of this backyard birder!

Beautiful captures.

When you start taking bird pics, you just don't quit! I'm impressed.

Bobbie ~ Thank you! Oh, you have no idea how many I took this winter, but it was "on the job training" as I keep learning the idiosyncrasies of my little Polaroid. It involved lots of frozen fingertips, as I hung out the window, in search of the perfect shot. I'm still learning and thoroughly enjoying it!

Wow!! All of a sudden, I discovered I'm Way Behind over here! A couple of my favorite birds are the nuthatch (both white- and red-breasted) and the black-capped chickadee. You're doing a great job with your camera!!

Shady ~ I posted quite a few separate bird features on Monday - one right after another. Glad you enjoyed them!
Did you like the titmice and white-breasted nuthatch, as well? They're some of my favorites, too! That photo of the angry titmouse, with upright crest, is enough to scare any bird... pretty tough little characters - they constantly squawk at each other, over who's going to the feeder, first.

Shady ~ Oops! Just realized the titmouse is not yet posted... he's coming up in the next one. I'm sitting here, laughing at his "bad hair day!"
