Black-capped Chickadee

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken at my backyard set-up. I like the multi-layered tail and wind blowing the feathers. I have never seen a black spot on the breast before. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

I like the blowing feathers and the perch. I don't know how he could have so many tail feathers - just as strange as the breast spot. Nice capture.

He must have some kind of genetic mutation.
Nice image with your usual excellent techs,

Sharp shot, I like the wind blown look. The many tail feathers are unusual.

This guy is very unusual. Be sure to drop a line to John Chardine to get his input.

Sharp, well exposed,interesting perch without being overpowering.

Cheers

Hi Jim, the colours all go well together, and I particularly like the wind swept plumage sticking up behind the head. I do like the perch and BG too.
