Have your egss hatched? I listened to the sound recording and the difference between "my" bird and yours is amazing. I guess East Coast and West Coast makes a difference in how chickadees sing :) <BR/>Check out "evolution of a bird nest" on my blog<BR/>http://hchristine.blogspot.com/<BR/>You may have to scroll through a few posts, but the building process is amazing and you will have to note the pink fuzz in my nest and no other feathers, but mine used raccoon fur!!!Heather Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10779113446159538650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-20337265906127901772008-05-18T08:22:00.000-05:002008-05-18T08:22:00.000-05:002008-05-18T08:22:00.000-05:00A pair of chickadees just finished raising a brood of 5 in my backyard box. I watched all 5 babies fly successfully from the box yesterday. It was enjoyable watching Mom and Dad in action caring for the youngsters. They attacked a squirrel that came too close. Question: Should I remove the next from the box to make the house ready for the next usage?Daveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11571524542436295015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-83360635077204582212008-05-10T19:15:00.000-05:002008-05-10T19:15:00.000-05:002008-05-10T19:15:00.000-05:00We missed the babies, but they are all gone now so I'm assuming they fledged ok. <BR/><BR/>My hubby took this pic. When I saw it in person I realized that what I assumed was cedar tips is actually moss.Ruralityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-63942040771168707562008-04-22T21:06:00.000-05:002008-04-22T21:06:00.000-05:002008-04-22T21:06:00.000-05:00I just love when Chickadee's nest in my box!

I think they could make 10,000 of them from our dog...<BR/><BR/>KF, I wish I'd gotten started earlier on bird knowledge! I never paid any attention at all to them until my late 20s or so.<BR/><BR/>Kerri, I wish these would do that! But the Carolina chickadees are more shy than some of the other chickadee types I guess.Ruralityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-61319519090561181652008-04-21T09:55:00.000-05:002008-04-21T09:55:00.000-05:002008-04-21T09:55:00.000-05:00Chickadee's are one of my favorite birds!

The CC were and still are some of my favorites to watch.

Crazy birds.<BR/><BR/>Today I was walking near a small lake and saw an Oriole nest made out of Christmas tinsel! The boy scouts have a discarded Christmas tree dump there that is set out for habitat. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to see that ChicadeePamelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-52054405801841341112008-04-19T17:13:00.000-05:002008-04-19T17:13:00.000-05:002008-04-19T17:13:00.000-05:00Wonderful!

I'm pretty sure we have at least one nest box that the chickadees have their eyes on.
