chickadees in the hand and a leucistic chickadee

Went out this morning to try for hand feeding pictures. Got a few that I liked and got one shot of a leucistic ( i guess, or semi-leucistic ) chickadee. Maybe we can call it a baldcapped chickadee.

ohiofalcon,

These are very nice,,, friendly also as evidenced here...The last is very Unique never seen one before very cool.

btw... 2 Perigrine Falcons at E. 72nd street yesterday, One landed on a Light pole 60 feet from me as I just put the gear in the truck, tried to get it back out but he flew off, The 2 mates I presume were perched on and off up on the smoke stacks of the power plant, dropped down on the Ice Off Erie to feed on a Dead gull I presume.

Nice shots. Beautiful little baldie. Never seen one like it.

Nice umages. I can relate to #3.

Dan,
Thanks. Chickadees are always fun to work with. Very friendly!
I had heard about the peregrines in that area a few days ago. Hoping to get up there sometime this week if the weather cooperates.

Cute shots, and interesting to see the leucistic bird as I was only reading about such things yesterday.
