It seems as if every photography trip I go on has a standout species that dominates the viewfinder and becomes the standout star of the trip, regardless of which species we were originally hoping to photograph. The star this past week in Sax-Zim Bog was definitely the adorable Black-capped Chickadee. We were hoping to photograph owls, including last year’s star, the Great Gray Owl, but no Great Grays have been seen there recently. Lucky for us, the Black-capped Chickadee seemed to be everywhere we went. On our last day, it snowed. A few flakes even landed on the chickadee’s black cap.
