Black Cap - Smap round 78 entry

avatar

I've been trying to catch some bright finches that have been visiting, but so far they've eluded the camera. This week's "Free" theme hit at a great time, because I had a few pics still sitting on the camera. It included these and a couple good squirrel pics I'll save for later.

This is a Black Capped Chickadee. One of the most frequent visitors to our feeders, and it seems the least shy. They will often come to the feeders while we are sitting a few feet away.

Here's my entry for the contest.

and here's a couple others snapped during the session.


Shot with Sony A7RIV and 100-400 lens, light crop.
I just love the 60MP resolution on this lens that allows me to crop and still have a nice image.
Now, back to the finch hunt.

It's my first time hearing a bird named Black Capped Chickadee. Anyways, goodluck with the contest... I'm planning to join in this contest but I haven't find an entry for this yet.

Well this is an easy one. Find a bird, shoot a pic or find a previous pic unposted! Jump in, still plenty of time left.

Aww, such a cutie. 🙂
Awesome shot with the seed in the beak. It must be fun watching them feeding.

Good luck with the finch hunt.

Tks. I spotted them briefly today, but not enough time to grab camera between meetings. They are sneaky like that!

Congrats @ksteem for being winner!

So sorry for the inconvenience.
