Eliza Waters 
One of my favorite birds! As a dear friend once observed, plentiful but never common.
Indeed… they are darling birds. 🙂
They are so lovely! They are in many of the parks I frequent and love to feed right out of my hand…
Thank you, Dale. They are such cheerful and fearless birds!
They are!
And lovely photo!
What a joyful sight!
Thank you, Anne. One of our most cheerful birds. Their spring calls are high-pitched, I fancy they are calling to their mates, “Sweeeee-tie!” 😉
How cute. We don’t have Chickadees in the UK but I think our slightly larger Great Tit might come neares. By the way, my phone doesn’t always let me ‘like’, but I do.
🙂 Thank you, Jill. Another commenter compared them to coal tits. Very similar, probably distant cousins!
He is lovely. Similar to our Coal tits. Nice view of his claws on the clear perch!
Thank you, Allison. I do think of these when I see coal tits, probably of similar lineage way back.
Gorgeous colours in one frame! 💛🖤💛
Thank you, Isha! ❤
Great close-up of an adorable little creature, one of my favorites since childhood. 💙
Thank you, Barbara. Same here, probably one of the first birds I learned.
Now THAT ‘S a great close-up….it’s so enjoyable to offer food and watch the feathered friends eat.
Thank you, Alice. They are the only ones brave enough to visit a window feeder. 🙂
Handsome feathered friend you have visiting. 🙂
Thank you, Judy. They are such cuties!
I do enjoy the Chickadeees, and this is a fine portrait. Mine rarely linger long enough at the feeder for a photo; perhaps I’m the one who doesn’t linger long enough!
Thank you, Linda. They are pretty quick to grab and go!
What a charming photo of this very charming bird, one that I rarely if ever, have seen, curiously enough.
Thank you, our numbers seem to be dwindling… we used to get bigger flocks. I expect it is habitat/food related.
You got a really great shot. We have lots of chickadees here and they do quickly grab a seed from the feeder and take it to a tree to eat.
Thank you! I always think of them as ‘polite’ feeders, not hogging a perch to gorge themselves. 😉

Adorable, Eliza, a little puff of feathers! I don’t see them so often; so I get excited when I hear chickadees singing and immediately start looking for them. If I spend a decent amount of time around them, I will sing-song chick-a-dee-dee-dee in my mind the rest of the day! 😊
🙂 Thank you, Donna. They are adorable little birds, always a heart-lifter!
That’s what chickadee heaven must feel like. Excellent shot!
Thank you, Hien!
I love those little guys, and I don’t think I’ve ever had the chance to look at one so closely! They have such personalities.
Thanks, Frank! They are fearless and bold. The only bird that isn’t fazed by blue jays, and seemingly, quite tame around humans.
What a great capture! Thank you, Eliza, for showing him to us! I love these birdies.
Thank you, Debbie. My pleasure. 🙂
Gorgeous capture of *nearly* one of my favorite birds. I don’t have the black-capped, but instead, the Carolina Chickadees. Both are darling, charming birds.
Kissing cousins! Thanks, Tina. 🙂
❤️🙂♥️
Thank you, Susan!
Sweeties. The deeees. We have them here as well. 💕
Thanks, Bela. They are winsome!
So sweet.
Such a sweet photo Eliza! 💛
Thank you, Xenia!
So sweet! I’d love to pet him/ her but I expect he/she wouldn’t appreciate that. Thanks for feeding them during your tough winter months!
Thanks, Kris. It is debatable about who feeds who. 🙂 They definitely help me get through the bleak months. ❤
What a cutie 😊
Thank you, Belinda!
Very sweet little bird
Thank you, Karina!
Chick-a dee-dee-dee. Our wonderful state bird. Do you ever “pish” them. You never know what they’ll do. https://sggphoto.files.wordpress.com/2021/07/marks-afraid-of-chickadees.jpg 🙂
🙂 I often echo them: deedeedee just to see what they do.
How cute! Wonderful capture and thanks for feeding him.
🙂 Thanks, Cindy!
There is something special about the adorable little chickadees!🙂
Agreed, they are cheerful little fellows!
Oh my goodness. Adorable.
Thank you, Alys!
Hug worthy 🥰
Indeed, thanks, Val!
Such a cute little bird. I always enjoy seeing them.
Thanks, Lisa! They are endearing.
Wonderful portrait. That filled feeder must be like a candy store to a small child.
Ah, yes, good analogy!
A beautiful bird! I can never seem to get good chickadee pics….they move so fast!
Thank you, Julie, definitely a lucky click! 🙂
Eliza, I sure enjoy your photos.
Thank you, Gary, glad to know that! 🙂
This is such a lovely capture! The soft feathers and all the details. Exquisite Eliza!
Thank you, Maria! One of my favorite feeder birds. 🙂
A wonderful photo of a special little bird
Thanks, Karen. Hope you are well!
I don’t know about your chickadees, but here they land on the feeder, grab a morsel (preferably a peeled peanut), then take off to nibble on it somewhere else. And then repeat this step throughout the day.
Yes, chickadees beaks aren’t equipped to crack seeds like finches can, so they need to hold the seeds between their feet to hammer them open. Thus, the to and fro. 🙂
Aw, beautiful, Eliza. Love these sweet little birds. 💕
Thanks, Jane. They are cuties, for sure. 🙂
So a chickadee is a real bird?
Yes, there are several species in the US. They remind me of your coal tits, which look like cousins, and probably share a common ancestor.
I was thinking more of W.C Fields saying, “My little chickadee!”
Yes, my grandmother used to affectionately call us that name, too. 🙂
Haha! That’s great!
Such a cute little bird. I heard you could train them to be get used to people and be semi-tame.
My sister used to hand feed them and they are pretty fearless. I’ve never had the patience to stand there waiting for one to alight, ha! 🙂
