Black cap and Boreal chickadees

These are from a recent trip to a bog in Northern Minnesota. It was the first time I had ever seen a Boreal Chickadee.

these are great.though is the first one a black capped chickadee?

Hah, I recognize that frozen deer carcass!

Sonic, yep, the first is the Black Cap. Thanks.

Liz, I'm not surprised.

Both nice but the second one is gorgeous. (Deer carcass? Or shouldn't I ask?)

Thanks, jg. It's a rib cage from a deer. There are people that hang a rib cage at a couple locations, along with a bird feeder or two, to attract these birds. Otherwise, you could probably spend a week here, and never get a decent photo.

Great shots...love the Boreal!

what lens did you use

nice
