As a matter of fact he did after the Master had graciously given him permission;)

Think its a chickadee....very nice Gary!!! is that rigged to drip water for the birds? if so that is ingenious and where do I find one? My goldfinches think the ant moat on my hummingbird feeders is there own private stock!

Excellent series, love the last one where he appears to be squaring up to the metal monster.

Excellent shots, Gary. I like all three. The Chickadee looks great in every shot. Beautifully sharp, precise colors in the image, and super beautiful bokeh. OK, if I had to pick, it would be #3. Great job!

:D Thanks for the nice comment and yes, its hooked up to a small hose that runs from a splitter ( main hose to spiltter and this hose and another for watering are plugged into splitter...valve). The dripping really attracts a wide variety of birds.....had a Baltimore Oriole today ( no camera . no shot) . Cardinals, Bluejays, Grackles, Bluejays, Chickadees all bathe every day......a Yellow Shafted Flicker yesterday....( many shots). The American Goldfinches however prefer a fountain in the yard and rarely visit this birdbath but I think thats because this birdbath is too popular. I got the dripper from a Birding store here in Ottawa. It has 3 forks that are used to stick it in the ground...pretty solid and larger birds perch on it often . I did a quick search on the Internet and this is the first link I found that had a variety of these......

Hey, thanks Gary, I am going to order from them. Have you tried that mister? That looks pretty cool.

Yeah I noticed that......they make a pretty good argument for it. Hummers and Warblers are always nice and I did have 1 yellow warbler a few weeks ago for 2 or 3 days in my yard. I never did figure out what attracted it in the first place. Maybe next year...

You have some nice compositions with the chickadee there, Gary. I suspect it's jealous of the iron bird's spot, if it's anything like our local birds.
