Nice detail and color on this very popular bird.  Love these guys!

Thanks! In this case, no food was offered to the birds, but they still landed on our outstretched hands or even shoulders. They also included Red-breasted Nuthatches and Black-capped Chickadees. It was very odd.

Really cute photo.  I have a Chestnut-backed Chickadee that will do this also.  He likes to take chopped up peanuts from my hand.  I was shocked, he came to my hand the very first time I tried to feed him from my hand.  Love these birds and their personalities.
