My friends told me that while I'm pursuing boreal chickadees, not to forget the more common species here in the northeast.

This is a very sweet little bird photo; I love it and would like to have found this shot in my own yard. Can you sharpen and brighten it just a little bit more? If it's cropped, consideration of 2 or 3 degree R rotation might also be helpful as the bird seems to be leaning backwards.

Jeff the repost brought out the needed catchlight in the eye. It's a little tight in the frame but a sweet shot.

Excellent pose, a little tight, I agree, but not a nit, Jeff/s repost did a lot of good, pretty bird and a wonderful face, my only little tiny nit is the OOF white patches in the BG, Wonderful image indeed!!
Congrats!!
