Here is a Sharp Shinned hawk that visits our bird feeder fairly often for a meal.

Chickadees are great little birdy buddies. Dad used to talk about how they would come to visit when he was deer hunting, landing on his rifle barrel and chirping at him. We had a nest full in my yard a few years ago. They were a friendly bunch.

Sharp solves all manner of problems.
Great shots! Do you have to train the birds? I know a guy who trained a squirrel to eat from his hand - it took a LONG time!
I do have a half-grown peacock who will climb on my arm and eat from my hand. It was the only surviving bird from a hatch of three and very lonely so I spent a lot of time handling it.
This is from just a week or so old. It's about three months old now but will still climb on my arm and let me walk around and show him the other peafowl and the llamas.
