Just some chickadees today

[coastalconn]

Being a chef, I did 12 hours on 12 hours off for 3 straight days. F^*%%% Valentines Day. I heard about an eagle nest in my area, but nobody was home. Ended up shooting some songbirds. It was really cold today with major wind gusts.. These are all between 1/160th and 1/320th handheld at 500mm... Not quite as sharp as normal, but I had fun...

Chickadees are fun to watch; they kinda fly like they're drunk.

So I guess yours are black-capped chickadees even though they look identical to the Carolina chickadees I have here... (to anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, see Scott's-SCraig-recent thread about paying close attention).
