Can anyone tell me how to differentiate between a black capped chickadee and a carolina chickadee? I am guessing that this one is a carolina chickadee since my book said that the wings of the black capped were more strongly edged with white.

Hi Paul, looks like in souther Ohio you get a mix of both. My book says the voice of the Carolina is a much faster chickadee-dee than the Black Capped. Also the Black Capped has a rougher bottom edge to the black bibb under the chin.

The colors in your image seem a bit muted, a little muddy in color? Nice focus hit to the eye, nice pose too and looks like good details

Nice shot Paul. For sure it is a chickadee. Not familiar with the southern variation so cannot help you there.

Paul,

may I recommend you use a faster shutter speed. 1/500 is simply not fast enough for the little ones from my experience. I would also recommend you try to set focus on the eye of the bird.

Love the background & perch.
