Nice to see those beautiful birds Phil, we don’t get any of those here where I live. Except maybe one Anna’s flyby in the spring and that’s it. Nice photos that lens is amazing
 
That Chickadee photo is exceptionally beautiful!
Black-capped Chickadee?
 
I thought I would share this here since we all share the same interest in our back yard birds and critters.
For many here it is nothing new but for me I was very excited to be chosen for the National Audubon Society Bird from Home gallery.
