So thanks for the reminder. And I love these pics . . . Thanks.

What's wrong with you? What kind of weekly geek ARE you? (and what's wrong with me for always being so sarcastic!?)

There's this really cool website that has all the different chickadee sounds. They're very social little birds! Here's the site: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/spring/ChickadeeDictionaryORIGINAL.html I got the pictures from Google Images. I'm actually a terrible photographer. It would be wonderful to be able to take pictures like this wouldn't it? I have hawks, but no eagles. I'm envious--that would be the neatest thing! I've been wanting to head to Ottawa for years. Maybe this should be next on my vacation agenda. Susan — Yeah, they whistle and they do this long and short sound thing too.

They are the same size, it looks like. Do yours whistle? I love the pictures by the way! And like Lezlie, I live on the edge of a conservation wetland, so we have pileated woodpeckers, as well as finches, orioles (yes, from Baltimore! they are a cool orange!), owls, cardinals, and all kinds of summer visitors. How did you take the pictures, or were they from a website? PS my sister in New Brunswick has eagles flying over her house! How cool is that??

These are Colorado chicadees, which is why they're black and white (because Colorado folks only see things in black and white) ( : I wonder if Northern and Southern chicadees are different. I'd love to see Verbivore's blue and white ones! Thanks everyone!
