Oh, I hope the wee sweetie is grown?

Is Mum okay with the handling of the wee one?

Hope so!

What loverly windblown feathered fur! Who knew chickadees had fur?

I actually thought that the end of the beak at first glance looked like the glint of a moist noisicle. I think this counts, I really do.

We get blackcapped and mountain chickadees at our feeders near Rocky Mountain Nat’l Park, at 8500+ feet altitude. They are not very efficient feeders: they take one tiny seed, fly to a distant tree to peck the seed apart before flying back for another. The other birds (pine siskins, etc.) just stand in the tray and slam ‘em back. The chickadees will also wait for another chickadee to get a seed before picking out their own even in a large tray.

CO is always reading my mind. Just this past weekend my mother was telling my boyfriend’s mother about the weeks I spent as an 8th grader sitting in my window seat with one hand, full of birdseed, out the window (a book in the other).

It’s true — chickadees are fearless little birdies who don’t mind landing on humans! Their little toes are so prickly!

WHOA!!!
