Nature Walks – My Little Chickadee

Chickadees are pretty little birds. I see them quite often, but they are so fast and quick, that is often very difficult for me to get good shots of them. Usually they fly off before I can even get my camera focused. This time though, I was lucky. There was one little guy who was posing for the camera. This is almost unheard of, at least for me. Of course, I was going to take as many pictures of him as I could, while he was there posing for me.

We have two kinds of Chickadees here in our area, the Black-Capped, which is the one I saw yesterday, and the Mountain Chickadee.

It was my lucky day in a couple of ways. First, I had a window of sunshine that allowed me to go walk-about before the rain and hail came down. And second, I was lucky enough to be able to get some good, clear shots of my little Chickadee. I’ll take both opportunities and think of them as gifts from above. Thank you, thank you. 🙂
