A walk in the forest on a balmy day after snow earlier in the week brought out the chickadees - this one was particular y inquisitive...

Great capture, it was posing for you... or looking for a meal! Great shot.

@Betty: Looking for hand-outs for sure - the conservation area has a feeding station so every time someone walks by they think it's lunch time..

Great shot, cute little bird, and I also like that name 'chickadee'.

nb: More snow on the way.

@Observing: the name comes from the sound they make - I'm hoping to go out later this week and I'll try and record some sound as well as some pics

I really love these little guys and whistle with them often... always curious and nearby on my walks.. Great photo.
