Though truth be told, we have some of the chickadees' European cousins in our courtyard. <br /><br />I loved your daughter's drawing and e-mailed it to mine. What a nice touch to have the birds hanging from the staff lines! And I love the story of your daughter taming the chickadees, of course.

It seems that I see more chickadees in winter than in summer or maybe I just notice them more because the other birds have gone south.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-67286366822943747592012-10-23T17:41:52.757-06:002012-10-23T17:41:52.757-06:00What sweet memories you are making!What sweet memories you are making!Choate Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497073350295708213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-55389144443286065752012-10-22T20:30:40.285-06:002012-10-22T20:30:40.285-06:00What a great ode to the chickadee.

And the nature journal--so sweet! You're making me nostalgic. . . :-)<br /><br />I hope the chickadees decide to stay with you this winter!<br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469299112021260475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-84135872703769033192012-10-22T07:39:22.114-06:002012-10-22T07:39:22.114-06:00I think we had one come through, I heard their cal...I think we had one come through, I heard their call for a week or so but haven't heard it again.

I do love chickadees, as well as titmice and cardinals, all so friendly.

They seem to be a permanent fixture, along with the cardinals and wrens.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading about your daughter's journal entry. As much as I personally loved the bird walk yesterday, discovering a Cedar Waxwing as a family was a highlight of the year. Hoping that this study of nature is a tradition our children pass along to their own.<br /><br />xomicheleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-73936432386588566132012-10-21T14:23:57.853-06:002012-10-21T14:23:57.853-06:00I like to call them with my iPhone!

Oh, how I look forward to going much slower in the weeks to come!<br />I like your daughter's tribute to the chickadee!

Maybe when we visit our son next weekend in Eastern Washington. ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.com
