Under the Shadow of Wings
Under the Shadow of Wings, I hear whispers in the wind. These tiny little birds are flying all around me, not afraid nor shy. They land on my camera at times as I am standing there near by.
I hear whispers in the wind from the fast beats of their wings. Who, who are these birds with their mighty wings?
But of course the tinniest of birds, the Chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee
If you stay there long enough, you might see the Shadow of the Wings. May your spirit take refuge in what follows; In the Whispers in the Wind.

It is a really nice write up and goes perfectly well with those amazing pictures. What bird is that? It looks pretty cute!

Thank you very much, it is a little Chickadee.😊
They are so cute Sandra – I’ve been seeing more and more Chickadees at the Park and I think it is the sunflower seeds luring them. But they move so quickly, I rarely get photos of them, unless they are busy feasting and don’t see me (but that’s rare). They are cute. I think I mentioned I follow a bird photographer on Twitter – she is the photographer that I sent you her blog about the Canada Goose gosling and Sandhill Crane colt that were raised together. I love those daily videos as she has Chickadees sitting on her hand and picking up one seed after another while they decide which is better – sometimes they just sit there and enjoy it rather than taking it “to go” … that is very cool that they are sitting on the camera. Fearless.
I remember you talking about her. They are very friendly, they have landed on my camera a couple times.
I think that would be very fun to have that happen.
I participated in the Great American Bird Count today and a Chickadee was in the yard while I was shoveling snow. It was so cute and nibbled on berries the entire time I was outside … no camera, snowing again.
Love the white wing span.. 😉
Thank you Lisa 🙂

I have my first birdhouse up in Mn. Those darling little chickadees are the so fun to watch. they are delicate but tough to be able to survive in this brutal cold.
Yes, they are the first ones at the feeder in the morning and usually the last ones also.

Fan of feathers 🙂
Yes, feathers are so amazing. So many different sizes and colors.
Really? The big white feathers are of those tiny birds?!
Yes ,I zoomed in on it in editing. They are smaller than my finger in reality.😊
Amazing!
a closet bird whisperer eh!
Always Wayne. I was leaning on a tree watching them the other day and a woodpecker landed on the tree right next to me face. He stayed there for a few seconds, it was amazing.😊
some of my best shots are because of me staying still. Did get shots of the Woodpecker?
No, I did not want to move, it was literally an inch from my face. I was smiling, 😊
you have some fantastic memories with Woody coming over to whisper in your ear! What did he say?
Knock on wood, 😊 and then I thought he might poke my eye.
