Chickadee Madness

Yesterday morning, I took a few minutes before work to test my new Sigma lens. It is the Sigma 150-500mm lens and I was excited to try it on the birds in the back yard so I rushed on breakfast to gain some time.

These chickadees rewarded me well for that.

The lens is heavy and therefore quite different from my usual gear. I used it without tripod this morning, anyways. If you want to judge the lens quality, please note that I was shooting through a glass panel door not to scare off the birds that were assembling. It does reduce the quality, I admit. I still like them.

Just too cute but also wildly comical, if you ask me.
