Perched, redux.

Also during the Great Backyard Bird Count, I captured this Black-capped Chickadee perched above me in the redbud tree.

Flits.

A chickadee flits away from the feeder.

Welcome.

Although I live in chickadee country, I have not seen chickadees at my feeders for eight or nine years. This is one of two that have started visiting in the last three weeks. I hope they continue visiting.

Chickadee.

Although I am in chickadee country, I have not regularly seen chickadees at my feeders for almost ten years. Why, is a mystery. So I was very pleased to see this fellow and one other during the past two days. Their antics are so pleasing and amusing, I do hope they hang around!
