Little Chickadee


I am away for awhile visiting elderly relatives. I don't have many posts scheduled during my trip so I would recommend having a look back at some of my posts in 2012. You can simply click the "Older Posts" button below this post or check the side bar on the right and investigate the archives. I will catch up with your blogs soon.

I spotted a little chickadee eating in the garden below the tree branches. I managed to snap a photo or two before it flew away. It is difficult to spot but you can see it's white marks on the side of it's head.

This chickadee looks like it's been eating well.

I was preparing to take my 3rd and likely best shot of the bird when it suddenly flew off!  Oh well, I will catch it another day, lol.

Here is what it looks like up close. This photo is taken by Kevin Bolton and is located at the All About Birds website.

The chickadee makes a lovely sound when it sings. Here is a short video so you can hear it.



If I get a change later I will add this submission to Camera Critters. Please go there by clicking this link and you will see more cute critters.
