Chickadee Sp.

I gave up trying to identify Chickadee's a long while ago. We get two species, the more Southern Carolina Chickadee and the Northern Black-capped Chickadee. Trouble is they interbreed and we are slap bang in the middle of the zone where they interbreed. They can look like a Carolina but call like a Black-capped and vice versa. I've mislaid my DNA testing kit so this one is a Chickadee Sp. meaning who knows what the f*** it is.

Depth of Field or Depth of Focus if you will. I focused on Blueys right eye and even the left one is OOF (out of focus) such is the shallow depth of field at f2.

Patient Goldfinch

This little Goldfinch was patiently waiting it's turn at the bird table. It's been a while since I've photographed birds out of the window. It was reasonable lighting (enhanced by flash) so I thought I'd give it a shot as there wasn't a howling gale blowing from the West. I may even have a go tomorrow morning too.
