All of my favorite little bird friends, although Mr. Sparrow seems to be copping an attitude at being interrupted at his meal. The photos are wonderfully detailed, very impressive!

Thanks Liz. I was really chuffed to find the chickadee at the feeder. Don’t see them often around the house.

You’re welcome, V.J. We get chickdees in the big pine tree outside our back window. And we hear them on a regular basis.

Yes. They love the pine trees. Their calls are so distinct.

Part of the reason chickadees are one of my favorite birds is that I can identify the calls!

Me too. Also I remember doing my first science project, in grade 3, on Chickadees.
