This is totally amazing Carolyn,we wouldn't even see these beautiful birds in a zoo around here. Can't believe how tame they are, only bird that would do that here after a lot of coaxing would be the little chickadees.
Great capture!! #1588659

A gorgeous capture, Carolyn! In our last house, we used to handfeed them too, they used to sit in the tree at our front door squawking for us to come out and feed them! Cheeky things they are!! :) #11147263
