    Chickadees have long been one of my favorite birds. In Michigan we always had bird feeders and suet in the winter. When the seeds ran out, they would call to us to come and refill. Great shot, Larry. Mary-Ann

    Coming from a family where my father in law, my brother in law and my husband are all news cameramen, and those plus many others are all keen photographers – the chances of ever having someone there WITH a camera to take this shot would be zero! Well done!
