Because these two were looking in opposite directions, I chose to center them in the composition. This choice gives each bird some gazing distance within the frame.
I have lots of Chickadees at my feeders. Through research, I’ve come to learn that each bird will hide tens of thousands of seeds in hiding spots for the winter months. They remember each one. Now I notice them checking under roofing tiles, in little nooks and crannies for places to hide their seeds.
