The exuberance of chickadees

Chickadees are constant companions in our backyard throughout the winter. These hardy little balls of feather and fluff chitter away as they fly from tree to feeder and back.

Even on the coldest days, they energetically continue their conversations and activities. With winter hinting, somewhat reluctantly, at giving way to spring here in the Foothills, I have taken a few opportunities to photograph these little birds from our second story deck.

    What delightful little friends! Although I remember them from up north, when I lived in New York State, I don’t even know if they ever make it to Southeast Florida. 🤔

    How delightful! Lovely light and bokeh! They are not as plentiful next door, thanks to the proliferation of the Magpies, But I find them in other places around the city, for which I am grateful. I see you have the black-capped , as well as the mountain Chickadees here!

    A terrific series. I have Chickadees that come to my feeders, but I enjoy seeing images like these that show details my eyes can’t discern.
