Diving!

[payn817]

A couple from today. Wish the exposure was better, and I forgot to check my ISO, it was 800. Owell, sometimes it goes that way


What kind of bird is this anyway?

Ahhaahaahaa!! Love the one on the right - bird on a stick!

I'd call it a black-capped chickadee, but I'm no expert. On second look, that's probably wrong, with the black throat.

You were right. I looked at an ID guide, and you gave me enough to go on to check different chickadees, and it is indeed a black-capped.


Yeah, I thought I missed the "dive" shot, but luck was with me. This one is diving from a branch to a feeder at a local park.

carolina chickdee, because black capped chickadee doesn't live in georgia They look the same, but the call is faster.
