Yesterday morning, I enjoyed taking several photos of a Carolina Chickadee while it was still very cold. These late fall mornings have been brisk lately.<\/p>\n

These chickadees make me smile. They fly in fast, grab food, and then fly out even faster than they flew in. They truly are bundles of feathered energy.<\/p>\n

Chickadees, no matter the species, are tiny dynamos.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thoroughly enjoying seeing, hearing<\/span><\/a>, and photographing Carolina Chickadees now that I live within their range.<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning, there were times when I had two or more chickadees in view at the same time. That can make it challenging to decide which one to focus on. I usually choose the one not at the feeder when I can.<\/p>\n

When I finish photographing chickadees, the real challenge begins: deciding which photos I like the most from my session with them.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it is easy to pick one or two chickadee photos I think are my favorites for the day. Other times, it is harder.<\/p>\n

That was the case yesterday, which is why I am sharing five Carolina Chickadee images today. Carolina Chickadees aren’t just fun to photograph, they are, quite simply, wonderfully adorable.<\/p>\n

Life is <\/em>good.<\/p>\n
