Carolina Chickadee - added to life list November 2, 2009. Went looking for this bird in Lexington, KY. Unlike black-capped chickadees in southern ontario which will literally follow you down a path....these birds proved to be quite skittish. I never thought it would be so hard to photograph a chickadee! The sun was setting, but i was happy to get a shot for my list. As it turns out, i ended up getting locked into the cemetary while observing this fellow. No fun being locked in a cemetary i can tell you. Certainly a sighting i will remember.
