"Yum! These sure are good. Look at all those peanuts!"

"That sun feels good!"

"Sharing some sunflower treats with my pal Tufted Titmouse"

"Sharing with a Goldfinch friend"

"Look at this pile of sunflower seeds!"

"Tasty treats!"

"Gotta get a seed and go"

"Great! I'm the only one here!"

"A Chickadee buddy!"

"Maybe I'll get some peanut butter next."

"PB treat!"

"Peanuts!"

I love Chickadees. They are such friendly little birds. Sometimes when I'm out filling my feeders they will sit about a foot away and just wait until I'm done. Thanks for the pics!

Goldfinch,

You're welcome! ;-))

Along with sitting a foot away, they also will sing their song while I'm out there. So sweet and friendly!

LOL at the squirrel lurking in the tree. He/she wants a piece of what chickadee's having.

And the chickadees seem quite content with all the tasty treats.

Marilyn-- thorooughly enjoyed your Chickadee photo essay! They are so cute to have around the yard!

Marilynbeth: What cute pictures. I don't have chickadees in my area so it's nice of you to share yours.

Thanks everyone!

Betterbloom,

You don't have Chickadees in your area?! Sorry to hear that. I'll be adding ( and, I'm sure others will too ) more and more pics of the Chickadees over time. They are just adorable and little 'bundles of joy'!

Greenlife,

Yes, the squirrels eat alot of everything from seeds on the ground, to seeds in feeders and to the nutty pb on the post.

here one of my pics.

Very nice Donna!

Great shot Donna!

We only have chickadees in the area during early Spring for about a month and then away they go..... But I just love the little rascals. Too cute.... Thanks for sharing... :)

One Chickadee waiting its turn on the top of the post for the other to get a seed on the feeder.

Murmur,

DITTO! ;-))

Edited to say that there is a White Throated Sparrow in the brown vines between the post and the square feeder.

In addition to black capped chickadees, we have chestnut backed chickadees as well - in fact, this year they seem to outnumber the black capped.

Another.

Oops. Same one. Here's the other view.

Oh Murmur they are just adorable!!!!

Thanks, Pelletory, they're brave little souls, too - I can come very close rbefore they take off.

Oh Murmur, what a little cutie pie!! Lovely pics!

Murmur,

Adorable little birds! Just as sweet and charming as the black cap Chickadees! Wonderful that you have both! Do you have them year round too?

Thanks for sharing!

I guess most of the Chickadees are brave, I can get within a few feet of mine.
