A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Poecile atricapillus
A bird almost universally considered “cute” thanks to its oversized round head, tiny body, and curiosity about everything, including humans. The chickadee’s black cap and bib; white cheeks; gray back, wings, and tail; and whitish underside with buffy sides are distinctive. Its habit of investigating people and everything else in its home territory, and quickness to discover bird feeders, make it one of the first birds most people learn. (Cornell)

These chickadees are common, curious and cute. A little pishing gets these guys flying and landing right up close. There's always something to photograph whenever I go out, as long as I'm not just looking for one specific thing.
Certainly is 'cute' Tom15! You must have a wealth of subject material for your photographs, and to be so close and capture such detail is wonderful.
