I was able to spend some time out in the backyard yesterday working on Pine Siskins, needless to say the Siskins were being difficult so I settled for a BC Chickadee.
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! :)

You could do worse than settle for a Black-Capped Chickadee. Love the perch and pose. You nailed the exposure. Agree with Axel about the dark area on the left.
