I love the little chickadees. Great shot, Gail.
ReplyDeleteThank you Layanee. I was lucky.
DeleteGorgeous shot...especially with the approaching one in the background!
ReplyDeleteThank you Scott. I have a tripod and camera set at the ready and sometimes, stay there shooting continuously. You never know what you'll capture.
DeleteSuch adorable little birds. I hope a few show up here soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, Cindy, They are a lot of fun to watch.
Deletewow what a lovely composition, especially with that one in the background!
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea. I think it's Tufted Titmouse, but doesn't it lose enormous.
DeleteWow, that is excellent Gail. We have those little Chickadees around here, too. The other day they were hopping up and down and flying this way and that on the front porch--snatching insects and leavings from between the slats of the siding and the shutters. Such cuties. Again, great shot!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do love how much fun they are to watch! They are pretty assertive at the feeders, too.
DeleteThat image looks for all the world like a photoshop job. If it was mine, I have to blow it up and frame it. It's that good. Good job and nice luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patrick. I have a camera set up on a tripod and shoot through the patio door. I was quite lucky with this one.
DeleteLove this and especially the background bird...
ReplyDeleteDonna, Thank you, it was a happy accident photo!
DeleteSweet little birdie. They like all the seeds from your native plants too.
ReplyDeleteLisa, They do..but, they sure love the feeders. So do the squirrels!
DeleteWhat a great photo! Especially with the outstretched wings of another bird in the background. Still waiting to see the chickadees here.
ReplyDeleteRose, The Chickadees and Titmice are here year round. They are frequent visitors to the birdbaths. I do love those little birds.
DeleteI love so many birds, the Chickadee is a cutie. I also love the Junco who peck through the garden each winter.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
Freda, I only notice the Juncoes when we have snow and they stop by to get water. Happy Holidays to you, too.
DeleteI really enjoy having the chickadees around. They seem to have a lot of personality and are so energetic - not as spooked by people either as most birds. Great picture.
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet Chickadee. Gail, it sings a song for us all. Merry Christmas.~~Dee
