What a perfect shot of the chickadee and the pussywillow! If I didn't know better, I would think that you got out there and gave your birds directions on posing! Mine always have some excess twig in front of them, or show me their butts, or generally never look this perfect!
Great pic of an old friend. Growing up as a deer hunter in the northeast, I learned that chickadees would often flock around hunters and lead them to deer--they like to feast on the suet and entrails from the kill.

I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

I saw a bluebird two days ago and a meadowlark today!! I also have to go check on my pussy willows John. Great photo! Happy Spring.
He looks so pretty on that pussy willow branch! I'm hoping to see more budding branches this weekend when we head to the cabin.

That's an awesome shot of a Chickadee!
It's coming! The chickadee is wonderful!
Yup, it must be. If not, then it is damn close. Love the shot.
I had once a group of babies on my tree last year. Boy they are so cute. Excellent photo shot. Anna :)
