Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)

We don't have these in my area and I especially enjoy photographing them since they are so gregarious. I was walking along a path in the woods when this one perched only a few feet from me. After I got my photos and moved on, it hopped from branch to branch, keeping pace with me as it joined me on my walk.

I've heard people say these birds are quite friendly. They sure make cute photos with that tiny little bill.
