Nature in Hand!

When walking around the woods here it is not uncommon to be mobbed by a flocked of friendly chickadees, nuthatches, and sometimes even woodpeckers. I always bring a bag of food for them and they readily take it right out of my hand. Some bird species are very tame while others are very shy, it's the nature of things!

Wow...This is great! We would not have this here! I think the balance of nature is better in your country, here we are too industrialzed, to many Autobahn´s! (for our BMW, Porsche, Audis, Mercedes etc. to export them)! You have birds I like that better!! *V*

Oh man, I just love the shot of the WBNU! Fabulous. And of course, the chickadee is a delight. Beautiful, beautiful shots!!!

These are wonderful! A bird in the hand is definitely worth two in the bush. V

Great photos! We have a nature trail here in Rochester, NY called BirdSong Trail where the chickadees will come and sit on your hand. It's so much fun!
