You gotta have quick reflexes to take a photo like this because the chickadees usually don't land for long. I miss the photograph more times than I get it.

About Me
- John Theberge
- 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.

Great photo. Did you know that the chickadee is also the Massachusetts state bird?
Your just like lightning John. {:)
Great shot.
But so cute when they do hold still! I really love them and get few shots of them. This is a great shot.
This is a great travel blog you have here. I'm a first-time visitor, but I'm very impressed. I have a travel blog myself which I hope to be a top resource for those looking to go on vacation.
I'd like to exchange links with you to help spread some traffic around between each out. Please let me know if this is okay.

I know what you mean about how speedy they are. I've tried unsuccessfully for two years to get a photo of a chickadee in flight. Now THAT'S a challenge! Sweet shot of the one you have here.
Yep, fast they are! Excellent capture John!
Wonderful John!
You bet! Chickadees are tough!
Happy new year John.
That's a beautifully composed image...Thomas
