Black capped chickadee

All the birds and squirrels are soaking wet today. Rain all day.
I'm taking pictures from inside. So I'm not soaked. :-)

@cookie123 Bernadette, that's what I noticed also. It's such a small bird they looked disproportioned.

Beautiful capture Margaret...and love your comment (lol) Stay warm and dry!

[wendy chapman]

I am with Clarissa on this shot. Those little claws gripping the wire. Very cool. We had sunshine and warmer temperatures. Maybe they are blowing east across Michigan and on to you. Stay dry for sure. You can't afford to get sick again!

[Della]

[molizard]

His feathers are so neat & tidy it reminds me of a pin-striped suit! Nice shot from inside!

The birds at my feeders always seem to love the rain. They all come out and eat when it is raining. I love how his claws are curled around the bar.
