The chickadees normally sound so cheery, as long as I remembered to fill their bird seed feeders, but they don’t sit still very long.

It is not just the returning birds looking to build a nest, but the year around birds are too, like this chickadee creating a cavity in a dead tree. I watched it bring mouthfuls of wood pieces out before turning around and going back in and when it reached the bottom of the hole, you couldn’t see the chickadee but you could hear it pecking inside the hole.

The birds, like this chickadee, must sensed the rain was moving in overnight as they stocked up on food before the seeds got wet.

It looks like this chickadee is praying that the snow would stop since the bird feeders keep getting covered with that white stuff which hides the bird seed.

The sunny day allowed the temperatures to briefly reached the freezing mark and the birds seem enjoy it as this chickadee lined up waiting for his turn at the bird feeder.

Another sub-zero day had the birds coming for bird seed very frequently and they were a bit impatient waiting for me to refill the feeders. The other day I had seven chickadees lined up on the rope where the feeder was hanging as I was filling it, but today they waited in the tree which provided some protection from the cold winds.

The chickadees sounded a bit more cheerful today once the temperature finally made it above zero, but they weren’t too happy when I interrupted their seed feeder time.

The birds seemed to be extra chipper once the sun came out this afternoon, even if the temperature was below freezing. The chickadees and finches were making lots of trips to the feeder in the sunshine and singing in the trees in between trips.

The birds feathers might have been ruffled a bit this morning when their bird feeder was missing from it normal spot. Although it was near the same area, the feeder was closer to the ground after the bear snapped the pole last night. I made enough noise so the bear left, but I waited until morning before patching the pole back in place and refilled the feeder with seed.

The chickadees seemed to enjoy the sunshine today as much as I did, but the chickadees always seem to have a cheery song no matter what the weather is. The only time they don’t sound happy is when I haven’t filled the bird feeder or I am taking too long to fill it.
Sunny Chickadees
