  4. I'm pretty far behind on pop culture now, so no surprise that I just learned the word "photobomb" yesterday. (Thanks to Tanya!) This looks to be a perfect example. In any case, these are wonderful shots !

  5. I like that chickadees flight over the cardinal. I wonder who was in charge of air traffic control that day. :-)

  8. The chickadee has made a daring swoop to "photo-bomb" your collage. You caught it at just the right second!

    Your cardinal shots show the beauty of the bird and it's bright, perky beak.

  9. I can feel the determination of that chickadee's flight; a regular fighter pilot, it seems! The female cardinal seems apathetic to its force, perhaps ready to protect herself with her piercing beak!

  14. What a sweet sweet bird. I wish we had them here. Is that a Chickadee buzzing Ms. cardinal? MB

  15. They're cute. They look a little more feathery than our cardinals, though. Probably 'cause they live in the cold, right?
