Black capped chickadee.

Catching up a few days. I've been down with the flu, and finally feel like lifting my camera. Even that seemed like too much of a job.

lovely shot, nice to know what a chickadee is!

[wendy chapman]

I am so glad you feel better. I always follo you and think you are a very nice person. I immediately noticed it when you were not on board. I am glad it was just the flu. And when you lifted the camera you did so with a bang. This is a lovely shot. It was great to find the C. on this natural perch.

Nice shot, he looks so small and delicate, but I am sure he is hardy.

Beautifully framed Margaret - Love how the chickadee is in the lower right corner and you have that strong, brown tree trunk and stark white snow filling the rest of the photo. Hope you start feeling better soon.
