Spectral chickadee

I've been trying to get photos of towhees -- too timid -- and juncos -- too jumpy --, with not much luck. They don't mind the BirdCam's flashes, but mostly the photos show a place where there was a junco a second before.

But I had to laugh at this one.

Junco and the ghost of a chickadee in the rain. The junco seems a tad perturbed.

I don't know how the camera caught half a transparent chickadee, rather than a flying one.

One junco sort of in focus. Another few thousand photos, and I might get a good shot, maybe.
