One of my favorite all time
little birds
are the
Chickadees!

They are playful, funny and just gorgeous little creatures.

Here is more information about them.

So, now for some photos of them!:




















































































































We haven't trained them to eat out of our hand
like a lot of my Blogger friends....
but that's okay...
I love just watching them!

  1. I have to ask. Is it just pure peanut butter in a jar or did you add other items to the jar of peanut butter? Thanks for sharing. Your pictures are great! I love birds and feed them too.

  10. Hi Joan, Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We did except for the fact that my sons and families could not get here for Christmas... Too much snow on the mountain..... And here in TN ---they don't scrape the back roads... None of my sons have a 4-wheel drive. Oh Well--SIGH!!!! At least we did have a White Christmas ---the first for us in many years.

    Love your Chickadees... You'll have to check my blog today... George gave me a Chickadee ornament... It's so cute!!!!!

    Happy New Year.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  13. What cute pictures! I love them too, they are so freindly and fun to watch. I'm trying to convince my oldest daughter to let them eat from her hands.
    I'm interested in that feeder too!

  15. These little birds are the cutest and I love hearing them. What beautiful close ups you got of them also!! I used to keep a seed bell on my window but the darn squirrels always knock it off. But the Chickadees come down on the ground anyway. The little hawk got a bird today and I'm sure glad I didn't see what kind it was. Makes me sad. But that is nature. Happy New Year Joan!!

  16. These pictures of the chickadee are wonderful. I am so envious. My next post is going to be about chickadees too, but my pictures are as bad as yours are good. I was just happy enough to be able to see them at all. Your pictures are like a very happy bonus for me since I'm thinking so much about these same birds right now. Great stuff!

  17. I had a chickadee land on my hand once. Of course I flinched and the chickadee took off. Another time one landed on my peanut butter sandwich very much to my surprise. Your pictures really caught what you said in your description...very playful energetic birds. Keep up the good work.
