Visiting my parents house in Starksboro, Vermont is always a lovely experience.  Peace and quiet.  I always try to bring my camera, sneaking out to snap a photo or two when inspired.  Over Christmas weekend I remembered how much fun I had last year attempting to capture a few of the chickadees that flock around our feeders in the winter.  While I've got a lot to learn about ornithology and the photography of flying objects... I put together a few of my favorite photos from the most recent occasion.  Enjoy!
