20110107 027 SERIES - Black-capped Chickadee HP.jpg

A POPULAR PERCH

Two images of Chickadees on a popular perch near a feeder

These two images were taken on a snowy, very drab day. Chickadees are fast, but when food is at hand, they allow one to get quite close. Hence, I decided to experiment with my 105mm f2.8 VR macro lens, a first for me when shooting small birds. I was pleased with the results.



other sizes: small medium original auto

Re: the second photo .... you may have been pleased with the results but the chickadee dosn't appear to share your pleasure. Great photo! Reminds me of the famous angry bluebird featured in the National Geographic magazine several years ago.

Marvelous closeup shots, Hank! Nice detail! Yes, they're friendly & curious! I've had them come to the feeder before I put the top back on!

These turned out really well!! I'm impressed. I don't think one can go wrong with chickadee photos, but in this case, they are exceptional.
