Chickadee in the Sunlight

Busy days, just a little chickadee shot for you today. Glad you enjoyed seeing the pic of the grouse yesterday. The evening grosbeaks arrived yesterday [dozens of them] but I didn't have time to get a pic. Kala [Barry's sheperd puppy] was on the deck when they arrived and neither Kala nor the birds were impressed. Doesn't make for good photo ops.

Merry Christmas everyone. Many thanks for dropping by. I'm falling behind in viewing your pics but will catch up soon.

I love this little guy, Anne! I've thought of you so often this week because I'm re-doing my bathroom and song birds is the theme. The photos that you, Brian and Jennifer post inspire me so much and I really love birds. Merry Christmas to you and Barry! I hope your holiday is filled with love and plenty of wonderful moments with your beautiful grandchildren.
