Thanks for the kind words, y'all. One thing about living in a forest, there's lots of birds. Chickadees are the most forward of them all and I'm not surprised that it was one of them that did this. I took down the feeders, held some sunflower seeds and it wasn't more than 5 minutes before one landed on my hand. He/she actually came back for more a couple of times. I woke up the morning I took this shot thinking of this setup and hoping it would work. The wireless remote was just the ticket. Thanks again for your comments. Cheers, -mikey

That must have taken a great deal of patience to get the chickadee to eat out of your hand - good one Mikey! :-) CJ
