Black Capped Chickadee, that is...!
Poor Guy, Just Eatin'
Ever wonder what they think? "Oh, great, it's the creepy guy, with the big glass lens and creeping on my lunch break." Some times, I wonder whether they get sick of me... always with lens in hand, whenever they land for a snack or dinner.
In all seriousness, I am very aware of the birds and wildlife I shoot. When walking the woods, whatever comes in with me, comes out. I never bait in the woods, I shoot long lenses, and keep a very respectable distance. No flash, and no noise, either. It's their home. not mine. Here? At my deck? I follow guidelines found on Audubon's site about types of feed and cleanliness. And you should, too!
I AM OUTTA HERE!
OH, look at all this seed!
No sooner does his feet hit the perch, then, creepy guy is there... lens poking out the slider, and the clickety-click of blades of the shutter flicking opening and closed, and that tell tale snap up of the prism, happens.
Seriously? Dude?
"I know you want to, but could I simply eat a seed or two without is being a thing?" I mean, even if he is thinking it, if he didn't want me to take his pics, he'd tell me, right?
OH, look at all this seed!
Never mind, he thinks, and dives back into some seed before the storm hits at it's worst. Or, one or two seeds and maybe then, dive out of here.
