  1. Lovely images of one of my favorite birds! You know, when the entire worlds seems frozen and still, you'll always hear a chickadee somewhere. What a resilient sturdy bird despite its diminutive size.

  6. Like many of your followers I love the black-capped chickadees as well. When it's really cold they are often the only visitors - you have captured all their cheerfulness. Nothing like hearing a "dee-dee" when you're outside - somehow it sounds so much like "Hello - how are you - where are my seeds?" Thanks for the great photos.

  8. As common as they are, I never get tired of watching chickadees- especially when they are roaming with their families in the spring.

  10. Exceptional shots as always Robert. This is the first year I had a Mountain Chickadee visit my yard. I was thrilled to say the least!

    You have done a great job capturing this little beauty. The second, close-up shot is really nice.

    I find it difficult to get the eyes on these birds because of the black on black, next to the white. You have done that nicely.
