I was in middle of the forest, looking up and trying to take pictures of the Black-capped Chickadees. The trick was trying to get the birds in focus and trying to get enough details with light coming from above the birds. It took few minutes following the birds to get some good pictures, this one was my favourite.

There were five to six Black capped Chickadees slowly moving from tree to tree, singing as they went. I got my camera out and started taking pictures. Even though they were spending fair amount of time on each tree, as always they were not spending to much time stopping in one position. I would find them with my eyes and then locate them with the camera to take their pictures. They kept me entertained for about five minutes before flying away from me. I was able to capture few images, where the birds were isolated from their surrounding, standing out in the photos.

Remember as a kid getting your favorite treat. The excitement could not be contained, you jumped for joy with each bite. That's the way I thought the black-capped chickadees were behaving as they went from shrub to shrub, eating buds after buds. Putting themselves into all sorts of body positions, some too fast for my eyes to see.
With 12-15cm in size and 9-14g in weight, they are always busy looking for food, in order to survive the long winters. On cold nights they are able to reduce their temperature by up to 10-12 degree Celsius, to conserve energy.
About six birds were going right to left, I stayed few meters ahead capturing them in all sort of positions, as we enjoyed the warmth from the sun. I must have taken well over hundred shots, as always only few were worth keeping. I like to share four pictures with you today.
Until next moment,
