Chickadee Swoop 2

I put out a couple cracked open walnuts, and the chickadees found them irrisistable. They just love walnuts! They were taking turns attacking them, and that's when I got the idea to try to catch them winging in. Of course as soon as I started trying it got heavily overcast and gloomy, so the light sucked and since the flash in my camera doesn't work, I had to go to a high iso. Kind of grainy but still a fun pic.

...... indeed it is a fun shot Bill. Very nicely taken too.

Birds and/or the weather always like to play tricks on us!! But you've compensated well for the loss of light.

Nice work laddie.
 
It's been years since I've seen that much snow but I do remember it's very hard to get a good image. You did catch the wings well and got a fine image. Now you need to get more walnuts for more practice-they're expensive here!
