Curious Chickadee!

Post by Bluecanoe »

We have loads of Chickadees all winter and spring and you can hear them all day long around the property. However since I got the camera and have been trying to record all the birds coming to the feeder they haven't landed in my sights! This morning I got lucky and true to form, this one had to fly over to me to see what I was up to, I got a really good pose, I think he/she knew exactly what I was doing and came over just to let me get a better snap!! I keep one sunflower feeder attached to the backdoor window just for them and they have no problem flying right up to the window with Siamese Cat sitting there to get at it. Bold little fellas!! Guess they know poor Blue is behind glass.. :lol:

Had a ton of them over the winter, and then they seemed to go away, but today they are a few of them back.Must have like the "Berry-Nut" food I put out. Really GOOD picture of that VERY small bird....

Place it and they will come TQ :) We have 2 dogs that go out often and 2 cats in windows, but those birds get used to it and will come where the food is. Or where they see others feeding. :)

One way is to slowly move the feeder you have closer and closer to the area you want each day or two. LIke move it a foot or so each day. Till it's where you want. They'll just keep going to it. Try it, you'll like it! :lol:
