I thought, oh no, not another Chickadee shot. But as Don Cherry would say 'That's a beauty'.

Thanks Murray.....they are such cute & friendly little birds its hard not take shots of them :)

Thanks Denis.....its not hard, but you need to take lots of shots to get one keeper :)  Fortunately we've left the film days or we wouldn't be able to afford getting these shots!

Who needs National Geographic with shots like this!  Excellent shot Scott.

Mmm, perhaps the title should be Black-capped Chickahawk, it certainly looks like a hawk.

Was it about to pounce on an unsuspecting sunflower seed?  :lol:

Thanks Jo-Anne, Niloc & Walter for your kind words and Walter you are exactly correct....the sunflower seeds didn't know what hit them :)

The seeds were really surprised when the bird birds came by :)  (Unprocessed full frame shot)
