Chickadee

Another through the window shot today with a Joe Pye Weed backdrop. This is one of the few times I have been able to freeze the action of one of these little guys. The chickadees are in and out so fast, I seldom get a sharp shot

Nice, Bob. Certainly a colorful background, and excellent detail. :toast:

bob,

The Joe Pye Weed makes a gorgeous background. I like the pose of the chickadee and the head angle it gave you.
