Taken this morning in partially overcast conditions. The chickadees have been around all winter. Along with Juncos, they make up a majority of the birds that I have been seeing over the last few months. It appears that the spring migration is a little delayed here in the Pacific Northwest as I typically have more variety by the end of March.

Iso-250, 200-500 at 500 mm, F6 .3, 640th, -0.7 EV, fill flash at zero, D 500, tripod, Adobe camera raw 10.2, Topaz adjust, TK sharpening action at 40%

Very nice pose and good detail. The perch makes a nice leading line.

I like the unique position of the BCC and the diagonal perch. Details are great as well as the background. Nice shot David.

I like this a natural pose and great detail.
I personally on overcast days prefer to use 400 ISO to give me a faster shooting time enlightened

I love the hanging-off-the-end pose and you got a sweet head turn, David. Well done.

Sweet picture of this lil chickadee. It's great that it's got a seed in its beak.
They are the main birds that I have around all year, but they really congregate around the birdfeeder in the winter. In the summer they disappear into the woods although they show up regularly at the birdbath.
