Black Capped Chickadees

Nothing says Maine like a good old Black Capped Chickadee. These sweet little birds are not only the symbolic bird of Maine; that honor is also shared with Massachusetts and New Brunswick, Canada. They are a staple in my backyard, I've watched many a brood hatch and take flight from my nestboxes and I think that those same birds winter over here and start again in the spring - they are SO tame. My buddies. 


"Ummm, you gonna move on there pretty soon?"

"I'm leaving - it's all yours!"

"Not sure what his hurry was, I was just asking when he was going to move."
