Black-capped Chickadee

[Bob Lund]

When the weather here is lousy, I stand in my driveway and wait for the Chickadee's, Dark-eyed Junco's and Spotted Towhees. Chicadees are my favorites.

This is my first post here. A quick review told me this will be a great place to get help :) Thanks for looking, and comments are welcome - Bob

Great picture Bob. These little fellows are very difficult to capture. The big difference in contrast between the black and the white almost always call for a dose of highlight/shadows in photoshop. My son Joël took many pictures of these small winter birds. He has posted a few on our website http://www.quennevillephoto.com/PhotoAlbums/StockWildlife/index_5.html
