Nice image overall Douglas. What does the Chickadee have in her mouth? Looks to be some sort of egg sack. On my monitor, the image does seem a bit underexposed, but nice perch, detail and BG.

Kurt Im pretty sure its ant eggs! They where going to a large ant hill and then returning to feed their babies. The perch is right off of the nest box.

I really like the detail in the larger version, and the detail is great in both whites and black.
