Chickadee

 

It always amazes me how such a small bird as the chickadee can survive living in Maine during such cold winters.  They’re tough little birds, that’s for sure.  Maybe that’s why they’re Maine’s state bird.

 

Chickadee 1

Anyway, I saw something recently that I’d never seen before.  A chickadee basically mining for birdseed after a snowstorm.  He wasn’t just daintily pecking through the snow.  This little bird got right into the snow bank.

 

Chickadee 2 (In the snow)

I’ve never seen a bird do that before.  Kind of interesting.

 

 

Until next time…
