Sweet and poignant picture of this most charming of birds. I loved it!

Poor Little guy! He's about to blow away! Yipes!!!

It's gonna be warmer today here in TN. In fact, it's already 33 degrees--first time above freezing in about 4 days or more... Yeah!

Shelly: It does look cold and even the birds are feeling it.

Looks like he's trying to shelter his face away from the wind. Roll on spring! Shelley I looked in on your Log Cabin blog to see the Loon videos. Fabulous! (-:

I love when they puff up to stay warm. Your photography is wonderful. May I ask what camera you use. I am looking into a new one and would love any info you could provide. Thanks Sharon

FAB said...

Love the Chickadee - always amazed how the little fellows cope with the cold.
Ditto Sharon, what equipment are you using?

Shelley said...

Thank you everyone for stopping by! It might be a few days before I'm back as my computer CRASHED! I am devastated to say the least and hope I can recover some of my photos. Hopefully I can get some computer time on my hubby's lap top.
Wish me luck and I'll be back!

Shelley

Chickadees are such wonderful subjects! Nice capture! The windblown look is adorable!

Sharon & Early Birder - sorry for the delay in answering your question about the camera equipment. (Been crying over my computer crash - LOL!)
I use a Canon Rebel XTI and I love it.
