I've never seen a black capped here. Yes, they do move fast, but I like to photograph hummingbirds hovering, so chickadees are winter practice. Thank you, Mark. I’ve never seen a black capped here.

Nice shots - I imagine they are as fast moving as the kind we have and getting these shots is no small feat.

I know some people who say the birds will sit on a finger and are quite friendly. The ones I photograph seem much more shy, though they sometimes fly near to me when I fill the feeders with seed.
