The chickadees that live around here usually jump around a lot. I can see you have the feeder, so that may tempt them to stay semi-stationary while having a snack.

For a split second...
You've got no idea how many photos of an empty feeder i have...

I have seen some empty branches too.

I went and took some more photos today, and with my 50-200 from a lot closer.
The IQ of the 50-200 is a LOT better than the IQ of thee telescope.
The chickadees were so friendly I actually had to move back as the lens couldn't focus close enough!

Maybe I'll post some more later but here's one for you to enjoy, it is uncropped.

Nice series, the little buggers move fast. Burst mode, hit the shutter and hope for the best. A big SD card helps too.
