Black-Capped Chickadee in Action Parus atricapillus | Feb. 5, 2012 |
| |
Black-capped chickadees are incredibly lively and rarely perch long enough for a photo. And although this is an "action" page, I thought it reasonable to begin with a chickadee perching, to give an idea of the general appearance of the bird. |
|
|
| And then on to an action sequence. First, here's a chickadee taking off (in January last year and very fluffed out). |
|
| Then there's the action chickadee maintaining balance at a sock feeder. |
|
| Coming in for a landing is beautiful too. |

It's always a treat to see a chickadee and more of a treat to photograph one.
Photo note: I used a Pentax k20D, with a variety of lenses. The first photo is from January 2011; the middle two from December 2011; and the final one from January 2012. |
