    Great shot Joel! I can tell you didn't use a flash, sometimes in difused lighting a flash can make things worse.Not like I'm telling you anything you don't know.[:P] Unless youdid a really good job not showing it.


    Keep up the great work!

    Why do you want to be so bendy?


    Ohh no that's elastic, isn't it?


    Seriously, the posts on this thread just get better and better.


    Thanks for sharing the wisdom Joel and for the images from you and other contributors.

    Thanks Denise. The chickadees in town won't come up to you. But drive to a trail 10 minutes from town and they'll follow you down the path. I read somewhere that chickadees need to eat fairly frequently just to remain alive, and they enter some sort of suspended animation state at night. This makes them a bit braver about finding food. Often groups of 4 or 5 coming to feed at the same time. In winter you can have more than a dozen swarming around you, all desperate for food. You'll need to be out during the day, because as soon as dusk starts to fall, they'll all disappear.


    You can see a thumb holding up the dish on the nuthatch image, showing that they'll come up pretty close too. They'll often join the chickadees in landing on your hand (or head) to feed.
