so neat. I had one land on my hand a long time ago but in spite of my efforts no repeats. However, I did have 5 little ones (the oldest was 6) trying very hard this summer to coax the chickadees to eat out of their hands. I knew it wouldn't happen but it made for a great photo and they are interested in birds. Good beginning.
Sandpiper: A wonderful feeling of trust and the discovery of the meaning of.."as light as a feather".
Mary: Choose a good weather day and just stand there with your hand outstretched with a food offering in it! Good luck!
Margot and David: I don't think I've ever held a Chickadee but one fall/winter we had little crossbills visiting our feeders and they were extremerly tame; so much so that one even landed on top of my camera; they felt weightless!
And what a wonderful way for little ones to gain an appreciation for birds. A wonderful beginning for sure.
NatureNut: Me and my camera stood and watched while my husband enticed a few Chickadees land on his hand. He was the lucky one!
I love those little chickadees! Next time, let the spousal unit take photos while you get to be up close and personal with that brave little chickadee (without a glove, so you can experience the feeling of their little toes on your finger!)

There are 63 covered bridges in the province of New Brunswick and I love finding them in those 'out of the way' places. I have photographed most all of them, with only about 4 or 5 yet to locate. I still have many photos yet to post on my New Brunswick Covered Bridges blog. If you would like to visit and see more pictures of Covered Bridges, just click on the picture above.

What a treat. Where you the lucky one, or did you just take the photo?

Exactly! I think so. some are so friendly and curious when I refill the feeders that it probably wouldn't be so difficult to have one do so.
