These are two of only a few photographs I took all winter. It was just (still is) too cold for my taste. Chickadees are extremely hardy though and were very obliging that day last December. I adjusted the white balance in Lightroom to remove the blue cast to the snow. It also brought out the brilliant white in the birds.

Gorgeous! I tried to take a similar photo recently and the bird flew away 😦 You must have so much patience!

Thank you. They must have been hoping for a snack so stuck around a little longer

Lovely capture! They move about so quickly. They never seem to stay in one spot for very long.

Great shots. Reliable little guys. To me they were always trying to say, ‘come on, it’s not that cold. Look at me, I don’t mind’. Still haven’t been able to find their southern cousin, the Carolina Chickadee.

Lovely shots with great detail in the feathers. The lichen on the branches adds nicely to the scene. I hope your area warms up soon so you can get out and shoot!

Thanks very much. We got out for a while today, it got to 3C, almost balmy. The red winged blackbirds are returning😊
