Patrick J. Blake > Black-capped Chickadee / Mésange à tête noir Poecile atricapilla Stony Swamp Conservation Area (Jack Pine Trail), Ottawa, Ontario 15 March 2008 Although chickadees are usually quite tame (almost absurdly tame at times), their constant flitting and fluttering about make getting a close-up like this trying at best.
Patrick J. Blake > Boreal Chickadee / Mésange à tête brune Nominate subspecies Poecile hudsonicus hudsonicus Algonquin Provincial Park, Madawaska County, Ontario 13 October 2008 I made a trip out to Algonquin Provincial Park in the hopes of adding a couple of the boreal species to my life list.  The boreal chickadee was high on that list, and on my last day there I finally ran into a flock of about six.  In typical chickadee fashion, they never sat still for more than a few moments, so I have a lot of photos of empty branches, but I did manage to get one decent shot out of the encounter.
Patrick J. Blake > Boreal Chickadee / Mésange à tête brune Nominate subspecies Poecile hudsonicus hudsonicus Algonquin Provincial Park, South Algonquin Township, Ontario 3 January 2009 I would have preferred a more natural perch, but a guy wire for a telephone pole is just as suitable as a tree branch.
Patrick J. Blake > Black-capped Chickadee / Mésange à tête noir Poecile atricapilla Stony Swamp Conservation Area (Lime Kiln Trail), Ottawa, Ontario 1 February 2009 By the time February rolls around, I'm pretty much fed up with winter.  Daylight is too short, the work week is too long, and it's just too cold too often.  In the birding world, February is the long pause before the flurry of spring migration.  What you see is pretty much what you get, and there is little chance of anything new and exciting showing up until late March. Thus chickadees become a favourite subject to shoot.  They're very abundant and always looking for an easy handout of seeds.  I particularly like the evergreen branch and the way the bird's head is turned in a nice profile.  The light was a bit harsh, but when it's a cloudless day and there's a few feet on snow on the ground, it's hard to avoid excessive light.
