Backyard Chickadees
It was a sunny morning today so I spent some time photographing the Black-capped chickadees that live in our backyard. There are several of them that share the bird seed we put out with a large flock of Common redpolls and a few Red-breasted nuthatch through the winter.
As from a couple of weeks ago with their redpoll cousins, the chickadees were elusive to capture nicely in flight. But it was a very nice time with my backyard neighbours.
A couple from the morning.
I like my backyard, it’s a cool place.

These are so good. Believe it or not- we actually have this wonderful little bird in central Texas. ( resident bird) This might be a common bird but the chickadee is not “common” to me. Wonderful captures of a bird on the wing.
