Chickadees/ Camera Critters

Waiting for a turn at the feeder

This chickadee is sitting on a rose bush cane beneath a hanging feeder filled with sunflower seeds.

Made it!

  2. They are small but intense and will scold me if they happen to run out of seed. They are a constant reminder of food.

  3. I've seen a lot of chickadees on the blogs of late, but few are as good a shot as this. I don't see them in real life...I guess because I head south for the winter.

  4. Isn't a chickadee a kind of Gteat Tit? They are yellow in Holland.

  7. Lovely little birds. I have a bird feeder in the back yard, but it's too far from the house to take pics while staying in the warm!

  20. Beautiful cutie. We have a bird called a cola tit which is very much like your little chickadee. Sweet garden birds.

  21. Beautiful shots of the chickadee.

    The barn in today's post is excellent too, I like how the red contrast with the sky and how the white in the trim is complimented by the white of the snow.

  22. Grammy and MB,
    I have two Canon cameras. (Yep, I'm spoiled --but I saved up for them, really I did.)

    One is a point and shoot S5 IS, which I carry on hikes and carry with me most of the time, actually.

    The other is a Rebel XSI, which is the one I used for the chickadee shots. I have only had the Rebel since last fall so I'm still learning how to use it.

  23. What a lovely fellow! You caught some wonderful details. I wish I could capture the birds in my world, but alas my little point and shoot cannot focus quickly enough.

  24. Good morning! I was browsing the web for personal knowledge, finding your blog interesting!
    I will with a simple, well made, wrote a moving, beautiful photos and how immaginerà not know English very well. I am sure it will include any spelling mistakes, I apologize in advance. I'm an Italian boy who writes poems, with a dream in the drawer, open a room in Paris a winbar.
    I would not mind a comment, what I write, in my humble Italian site,
    in thanks for the inadvertent intrusion greetings

  28. Such a little sweetheart! In my garden I can't seem to get this closeup and personal with birds:/ Reason for that my fierce creatures in shape of one yapping loaf doggie (who don't like intruders) and salivating cats, can't win them all, huh?
