Practising Black-capped Chickadees of the Vermilon River, A Post to Macro Monday.









I think this fellow has heard about the Olympics and wants to be a leading contender in the acrobatic competition. Did you notice how he ended up as he started out? I think a 10 is in order.

    I think that is what we call a long-tailed tit in these parts.

    I think its a cross between the Long-taled Tit and Marsh Tit in England.

    All Chickadees deserve a 10 for their amazing acrobatics! Great captures of the sweet bird.

    Long-tailed tit I reckon, not versed in long stories :-)

    Very nice capture. They are so active, I had a hard time to photograph them.

    Lovely shots. As Bob said, they look rather like our British tits, such as Marsh Tits.

    Hi WTP. I think they might be alike, but these guys are adapted to a harsh environement.
