What a day!

With our group, Suffolk County LI Photographers, we went out to the Elizabeth A. Morton Wildlife Preserve yesterday. It was a beautiful day for this part of the country in January..mild temperature and a blue sky. I wasn't expecting more than tramping through the woods at this time of year but I was in for a surprise. One of the group asked if I had brought any sunflowers seeds (which I hadn't) so they gave me a pocketful. "Hold out your hand" I was told. I couldn't believe it, one after the other and sometimes two at a time, little chickidees flew into my palm.

Bet the "BIG BIRD" did not land on your hand.
LOL...it would have broke my arm and lucky it didn't hover round like the little ones did. He did have beautiful coloration in the sun tho..those are his actual colors.

That is really cool, and very nice pics. Just an FYI, the first 2 pics are chickadees, but the first one in hand is a Nuthatch, and the second one is a Titmouse. I have heard of chickadees eating out of hand before, but never the others. Very neat.
