Well, they were...their visits are SO fleeting!

did you manage to get a picture?

No! As soon as Em gets the camera out, they all fly off - like the know, the little beggers!! We caught them once, a few weeks back.

larelle I've often wondered how birds know the camera is pointed at them

It's time to go photographing the chickadees on the nature trails around here.

Hi Don, I love that there are actually birds in North America called chickadees. Until recently I thought it was just a catchphrase
