Black-capped Chickadee

FWG

As for birds, there were robins, a few goldfinches, starlings, pine siskins, cardinals, red-tailed hawk, juncos, chickadees, house finches singing their little hearts out, mourning doves cooing mournfully, hairy woodpecker, downy woodpeckers (3 together), white-breasted nuthatch, cardinals, crows, and I'm sure I've missed some in this list! The chickadee in the photo is one that flew down and buzzed me, almost, but not quite, touching my head. He then landed in the tree mere centimetres from where I was standing and I managed to whip the camera round and fire off a shot before he took off again. Not a great photo, but I like it because it shows the cheeky little guy!
