Black-capped Chickadee

Post by wishiwere »

This is the ONE and only time I have ever seen chickadees eating from my finch feeders! I was surprised, as we've fed both for years, but apparently this little guy thought there must be something special in there that wasn't included at his table! :D

Yeah, most of the pics I take of these little guys are blurry b/c of that! They surely don't sit around like the others birds!

I love when they hang upside down! They are such acrobats! Definately my favorite bird, I can't easily pass up anything with a chickadee on it!

They are fun to watch! :D I'm thinking I need to get a job just so I can start feeding them again! With so many feeders, it's expensive! And I just can't stand to see them following me around when I go outside and can't afford to right now. THey still check them daily :( and it's been several months since we quit.
