My Little Chickadee
These little Black-capped Chickadees are a challenge to photograph in flight. They flit around in unpredictable movements and they are very small. It was a bright morning so I was able to use a very fast shutter speed of 1/6,000th of a second to stop the motion of this little guy coming in for a landing.

Snowy Snow Geese at Sunset
Yesterday near sunset I found a snowy field full of Snow Geese trying to forage for whatever they could find to eat. Single geese like this one moved around trying to find better spots. The winter wheat was covered by several inches of snow so there wasn’t much to eat and. Some ate what soy bean stalks they could find.

House Call
This would have been a rare – if not impossible – sight on the Delmarva Peninsula before 1940. That’s when a small number of House Finches were released on Long Island, New York and they have been breeding and spreading across almost all of the eastern United States ever since. Now scientists estimate their population may be as high as 1.4 billion.

Get Out Of The Way…!
Three Canada Geese paddle as fast as they can to get out of the way of a Mute Swan as it takes off. At more than 20 pounds Mute Swan are twice the weight of Canada Geese. Oddly named, these super-sized birds have a loud, clear “kloorrr” call that sounds similar to Tundra Swan.
