Chickadee's

Last weekend I must have spent about 15 minutes trying to get a close up of one of these little guys or girls in flight. I got one, but the two birds were blocked by a rope. This was the best shot I got...zoomed in to 200mm from about 10 ft away gives a very small depth of field. I think my camera's relatively long shutter response time was also a factor...maybe next time. All in all much more challenging than I thought it would be :]
