Chickadees are small, seemingly joyful birds that are easily attracted to feeders. Their sweet nature is very similar to the tufted titmouse and they tackle seeds in much the same way, placing them between their feet and breaking them open.
Although it sounds counter-intuitive, pictures of these birds taken on a cloudy day when the contrast between their dark and light areas isn't as great will usually come out better than those taken on a sunny day. Another good time to film them is when there is snow on the ground as was true in this picture. The reason for this is that the snow lightens up the shadows. Snow can act as a huge lightbox, softening the shadows and creating much more visually engaging photos.
