My husband has a dish of seed on the front porch to feed the local squirrels, but look who showed up yesterday.
Isn't...
he...
cute?
I was hiding behind the curtains while he enjoyed our sunflower seeds.
Now, I thought he was a Black-capped Chickadee because I read that they have a longer black bib than the Carolina Chickadee; however, after listening to audio of the two birds' songs, I believe he was a Carolina Chickadee. He hung out for a while snatching sunflowers seeds, so I really got a good chance to hear his song. Also, the Carolina's range includes Florida. Therefore, I'm going with Carolina. Regardless, he was an adorable thing. I hope he comes back.
Movie lovers (like Laura) should recognize the post title.
We have several chickadees eating from our feeders right now, too. I had thought ours were the black-capped, but my bird book says that they don't come to our area normally. So now we've decided they are Carolinas. My book also says that they commonly inter-breed making them hard to distinguish. So maybe we have hybrids. LOL
