Chickadee

Chickadee

Chickadees are one of my favourite birds because they often come to greet me as I walk through the forest. Normally it is difficult to photograph them under the trees because there is a lot of cover and they move so quickly. As well, the lighting in the woods isn't always the best. In the winter, they have landed on my hand to take sunflower seeds.

The individual in today's images landed on a branch close to a bird feeder and stayed still long enough for me to make a few images. Most of the photos I am sharing today were cropped from larger originals.
