Carolina Chickadee with a mouth full

Looks like a Chickadee with a Blue Jay's beak.

Chickadee came to visit

The Chickadees don't come to the feeders close to the house.

They only visit the tree line close to the road. I do also have a feeder there.

Guess there is not enough protection around my house for them.

This was my first attempt at using the blind and I placed the blind too far from the food.

After I took these photos I moved to the deck and placed the blind in the middle of my deck and saw how VERY close I could place it. I posted the first photos of the Goldfinch from the blind.

Carolina Chickadee in my yard

These photographs of Carolina Chickadee were taken in my front yard on Thanksgiving Day.

We don't have the black capped Chickadees in this area.

Chickadee thankful it is turkey day and not chickadee day

I took these photographs of a Carolina Chickadee on Thanksgiving Day. We had a warm day, and I ventured out to my front yard, should do it more often. I have not adjusted to the cold this year, maybe because we are breaking records. One day recently we broke a 1937 record by 3 degrees. Global warming...not around here this year. Don't mean to step on any toes there, just kidding. The rain set in on Sunday, and we still have a house with a tarp across the roof. Not good!

Oh Boy, what have I found?

"OH BOY, OH BOY, OH BOY!!!!!" "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!"
The top photo reminded me of my 8 month old grandson when he sees food. Mason swings his arms as much as this Chickadee is flapping his wings.

Chickadee on the move

This Chickadee was moving, trying to get closer to the seeds I had just left on the wall.This branch was a little small even for this small bird.
She wobbled around some.

Then settled down for this one photo.

Then she was back to the treetop, where I couldn't bother her taking her photograph.
