Not your typical birder!

Black-capped Chickadee Butt

Posted by Birdchick on December - 31 - 2008

Oh, the dangers of talking while digiscoping.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when you digiscope, you get hundreds of not quite perfect photos. If you’re just trying it out and you feel that most of your photos are crap, don’t feel bad, it takes several tries and maybe even a little tweaking on the computer to get good shots. The other day I was taking shots at a feeding station at a local nature center. When you plant yourself in a chair with your spotting scope and digital camera, people have questions. So, as I was shooting, I was chatting. When I downloaded the photos, I discovered a disturbing amount of chickadee butt photos while it was on the feeder. I’m not sure what my subconscious is trying to tell me.

    Your subconscious is telling you, “Chickadee butts are fluffy and cute!”

    You can get arrested in some states for that kind of behaviour!
    Nice shots though.

    Heh. My non-birding wife comments quite often on the number of “bird butt” shots I come back with. Nice to know I’m not the only one…

    Too funny. I usually delete those. I do have a totally disturbing porno crotch shot of a male squirrel that I haven’t deleted.

    Nothing wrong with a little Chickadee Butt every once in awhile, just so it doesn’t become a habit.

    Funny pictures and post. Happy New Year!

    I think you need to frame that second one and put it in your bathroom (where else would you hang it?). ;)

    Couple thoughts from the comments:

    1) Not “tits and ass”, but “ass of tit”

    2) Fluffy-rump, fluffy-rump, fluffy-rump-rump-rump…

  19. Alan says:

    Your too funny Sharon!! That was great!

  20. Monie says:

    What cute pics! Thank you for sharing them, they made me giggle aloud. :) Birdy twinkers (birdy butts) are the best.

    Keep up the great work, I’ll be back for more looksies in the future.
