Chickadees are definitely my favorite birds. When the snow is piling up outside my window and I know I am housebound for the day, they are a joy to watch and their distinct calls can brighten any winter day. They have an interesting “up and down” flight pattern and their friendly nature endears them to many a bird lover. I don’t usually put out my feeders until after Thanksgiving, but this year they (and the Cardinals) have been casing my place, so I relented. Picked up some sunflower seeds yesterday and filled a feeder in the afternoon. No takers appeared until this morning, but the Chickadees were the first to arrive for breakfast, followed by a few finches and a Tit Mouse or two. I haven’t seen the Cardinals as yet, but as they tend to be skittish birds it may take them a while. Thanks so much for those wonderful photos. Your photos are always outstanding.
