Warren, Connecticut. More than any of the other birds on our feeders chickadees seem to have little problem with me standing ten feet away taking pictures. I suppose food trumps fear when the nights are getting colder and winter approaches.

Note: This is an extreme crop as a test of the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L lens I’m renting. I have to try a similar shot soon with my 135mm f/2 L and 1.4x extender. So far I’m impressed with this lens.
