Chickadee art

A somewhat stylized look at one of my favorite birds: the Black-capped Chickadee.

Placing a feeder in the walkway beds was one of the best things I did this winter, as I get to watch these birds all day long.

They love the branches of the not-too-healthy ash tree near the feeder:

They perch there, fly down to the feeder to grab a sunflower seed, then back up into the branches to eat.

Not sitting still for too long though, especially once they're done eating:

I think this tree is more interesting in winter than it is during the growing season...

Maybe that's because I can see the little birds more easily.

Besides, I can't help but think of W.C. Fields whenever I see these birds. Is it just me?
