Lovely Little Chickadee

Hey Sweetie

The little black-capped chickadee is my favorite bird! They are so small and agile in flight. Also you could never find a friendlier bird. At Kensington they greet you in the parking lot, follow you on the trails and eat seed out of your hand. They are so happy to pose for photos too. They have several calls: one is rather a harsh chick-a-dee-dee-dee but my favorite is a soft whistle: sweetie, sweetie. They stay year round in Michigan and are found at feeders. Check these little guys out. They are always at the feeders at Oakwoods Metropark.

We have a photo shoot at Crosswinds Marsh on Saturday. Hope to make it there as well as the Owl Prowl at Oakwoods in the evening. Despite the cold, I would love to see an owl! Can't let a little cold weather hold a girl back...bundle up!
