I love this photo because you can see a chickadee perched above the owl, screaming, which is how I notice owls 90% of the time
I went on a photowalk with a local photography group in a wooded park. Someone brought birdseed and the #birds were fearlessly landing on him and eating out of his hand. When he asked if anyone else wanted to try, I said yesss!
I held seeds and experienced absolute joy when they landed on me and ate. I think these are #chickadees?
Haven't been to the nearby natural area in a while, it felt a lot more thick in there than the last time we were there. Probably because we've had some pretty decent rain this year.
Took a nice walk in the forest. Fed some chickadees. Feeling pretty good now.
Also saw some downy woodpeckers, white-breasted nuthatches, and some yellow-rumped warblers.

Stay Back or I Jump
I was watching these Carolina chickadees a couple of days ago. There were actually three of them, though I couldn’t quite get the third in the frame. Two kept trying to get close to the one perched highest on the limb, but that bird kept shifting away, just out of reach. I couldn’t help wondering what was playing out. My best guess? The two were fledglings, trying to cozy up to a parent—maybe hoping for food or just some reassurance.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.
