Chickadee

Cute and friendly bird but not my favourite to photograph. The black cap hides their eyes.

Many thanks for dropping by.

great capture

[Crickle]

amazing close up!

[Michael Elliott]

Fury little guy. Nice lighting.

[Allison Maltese]

Amazing detail. Great close up. You can always do a little work on just the eye to open it a bit.

[elkehochban]

Black is a difficult colour to photograph, but I can see his eye quite well. Great feather details!

[Mary Lou]

great shot Anne - they are always so cute.

[Brian Buccigrossi]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great closeup. He is pretty and fluffy looking.

[Judith Johnson]

Such fluffy feathers - great close-up.

[Mimi Ditchie]

Excellent, he's a cute little chubby thing.

[Laurie Higgins]

I love little chickadees and I've never seen one this close, so I'm happy you shot him. I can see the definition of his feathers so clearly.

[Jen Hudson]

Great to see all the detail and his eye does show. Nice lighting coming in to give more definition.

[Beth]

This is a wonderful closeup of the little chickadee. You did manage to capture his eye. I never do get a decent shot of the eye.

[paula goff]

the detail in his feathers is so great, and you timed your shot perfectly!

[Theresa]

They are cute, but never stay still..congrats on your capture.

[karenann]

What a gorgeous shot . . he's a chipper little guy! I love this one, Anne. Wish that I could get one half as good as this. Beautiful catch!

[carol white]

Lovely capture with great detail!

[Carole Imes]

I think it's a great photo...good timing. By the time I get anything around here to sit still for one nano second & then start to take the photo they are gone. You have very cooperative birds!

[Cindy Muir]

Great shot!

[Pauline Binek]

[Cindy Muir]

Anne - I'm calling on my bird experts for opinions and suggestions. My shot for today is a female northern cardinal - with some sort of defect - any ideas??? http://365project.org/cmuir1963/365/2012-02-21

Excellent job with this capture. I know about the black cap hiding the eyes, I find it difficult too.

I know they can be tricky to photograph, but you do it so well. And, since you know they're my fave please keep it up! ; )
