Found him with the flock of other chickadees that enjoy my sunflower seeds and peanuts. He's a bit more skittish than his comrades. I didn't get a good photo of him sitting still. maybe next time! :)

Maybe he'll get used to me being around and try handfeeding soon!

Thanks for all of the positive feedback.
Blackcapped chickadees are my favorite little birds. They are so friendly and trusting. Trying to get a really special picture with them in the coming days.

Fantastic,
Love things out of the realm and this certainly is an oddity, beautiful bird for certain...
Hope you nail a few good ones as im looking forward to seeing them, he looks to be jumping the shutter sound or the fill flash in these,certainly a wary lil guy, guess he may have had a close call or two and is on edge.

Btw..... whens the invite over, would love to capture this lil wonder of nature...:D:D:D " with crossed fingers" hey I'll bring the peanuts;)
